Just before the Lidl, heading in to town. Black disc-braked hybrid, folded at the head-tube/down tube, in impact with 172 bus. Cyclist on the ground and numerous medical people on scene, traffic being diverted around.

Shit, way too close to home, @monkdagola we must have just missed this.

Hope the rider is going to be ok, I'll be checking for updates.

Terrible. Pretty sure we passed a hybrid or two, hope they recover.

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.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
