You're not the only one, however from the YT comments there seems to be a lot of "real cyclist" road bike super-commuters clouded by experience stereotypes of Boris Bike riders, so they don't view the footage for its actual content.
The video author reviews it further and tries to confirm what actually happened, but it's a token effort in the flood of comments.
So it looks like:
1) Road bike passing in oncoming lane forcing oncoming riders to veer to their left curb.
- punishable by hanging, or lifetime restriction to a Boris Bike.
2) Road bike hits the bars of the Boris Bike.
- one of the many things that can go wrong if 1) goes unpunished.
3) It all goes pear shaped.
- Voiceover in the slow-motion
https://youtu.be/5RH5HBq5hOg?t=56 should have been "It was at this point that Josephine realised she fvcked up." so that it would be clearer for the YT viewers.
