Not exactly today's commute but ..........riding home on Monday evening - going North on 7 Sisters Road at the tube station junction I'm going thru green and there's nothing around me and a guy (dressed all in white) in a pure shiny white BMW coming South turned right in front of me, didn't stop but blocked me and despite hitting the anchors hard I hit his rear nearside panel and launched. I called the police and ambulance whilst he stood next to me saying it was an accident. In the end the police took me and my bike to Whittington Hospital - thanks guys - even bought me a coffee. I'm sore as hell literally and otherwise. My bike is wrecked/bent/fecked. I've a good witness - I think. Talking to Leigh Day solicitors. Be careful out there. PS - 16,000 miles on that Alex front rim......
