Saw a guy have the most spectacular accident I have ever seen without another party involved.
He was cycling west through here when he misjudged the pavement and clipped a bit of curb/bollard and managed to hit two different bollards with a fair amount of force. I saw the whole thing happen from a little way back. He looked to have minor injuries. Fat lip, bloodied hands, grazed face, but he was definitely in shock. Myself and a couple of others stopped, picked him and his bike up and waited with him until an ambulance came to check him over.
The worst part to watch was that when he was flung off he broadsided one of the bollards. It looked savage.
TL;DR go easy out there folks.
