Sorry for the traffic jam at Parliament Sq today at about 8.20. Had my 7th pedestrian involved incident. I was first off the line heading towards number 10 and a ped thought it would be clever to initiate a game of frogger with oncoming traffic. Was doing about 25/30, had to do a massive emergency whip skid to avoid killing her and a poor roadie behind me clipped my back wheel. We both went flying :( I've got some brilliant road rash and my left leg which doesn't show any signs of damage is in quite a surprising amount of pain.
Roadie was rolling around on his back, I thought he had broken it for a minute. He turned out to be ok and left before I did. Loads of peds stopped to pick us up but the instigator fled the scene whilst we were rolling around on the floor.
