I don't know whether the Standard has changed this since it was posted 8 hour ago, but is currently saying that the poor chap hit a stationary Boris Bike distribution van - which would be the dock opposite St Thomas's Hospital. I guess it was parked in the cycle lane, but the road is reasonably wide at that point. It isn't somewhere I would expect to be a collision hotspot or anything.

A quick addition to say that I've met this guy and he is on the mend. Not well enough to be riding again yet, but healing up.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
