• Minding my own business. Happily spinning over (the clusterfuck that is) Blackfriars bridge, when female ped runs blindly between traffic and right into my path.

    No time to do anything but hit her full on.. She flies. I'm over the handle bars landing on neck/shoulder and onto comfy Mission Workshop.

    Tears, apologies on her part..

    What are you doing? You need to be careful, your lucky it wasn't a motorbike, are you OK?, from me.
    She's Ok. Bike OK. I'm, for the most part, OK. Big headache and a very sore shoulder and neck.

  • You just know she's giving her own edited version of events, probably involving you jumping a red light and being on the pavement, all at the same time.

    I've just about given up ever filtering these days, but I don't ride in central London very often so it's not a massive problem for me.

    It sounds like you should get yourself checked by a medic if you've got a headache, heal up fast.

  • Maybe. She was incredibly apologetic and plenty of peds, cyclists and motorbikes stopped to help out. I was in clear traffic in the 'bus' lane. She just 'whack-a-moled' out of nowhere.

    I was at massive pains to ensure she was OK and didn't rant off on her.

    Her Burberry mac was proper fucked.
