Sum up brexit with one action... Image Twitter/BBC.How do you sum up a no-deal brexit with one action...
First it was an old man's incredibly blunt analysis of brexit that was doing the rounds online.
Now, a clumsy cyclist has taken the mantle as a metaphor for the calamity that is a no-deal brexit.
The hilarious moment happened when a cyclist fell off his bike during a live TV report on brexit from BBC journalist Sarah Smith in Edinburgh.

Towards the end of the chat a cyclist can be seen moving into the shot, before he unexpectedly topples off his bike and falls to the ground.
Ms Smith appeared unaware of the incident as she said on screen: "Scottish voters should have the right to choose whether or not they want to have an independent future."
The short clip has been widely shared since it was recorded yesterday.
The journalist tweeted the excerpt: "Perils of live broadcasting on a momentous night - watch for the cyclist coming in from the left."
Welsh rugby referee Nigel Owens tweeted: "Did anyone else see the guy on the bike fall off. Sorry but I had to laugh."
One commenter replied: "A bit staged but I laughed when I saw it. Sarah Smith did well not to laugh although she nearly did."
