Such a shit corner that one, heading southbound loads of drivers left-hooking across the bus lane without checking/caring. Hope the rider is ok.

I have to ride through there everyday, the biggest hazard is where the road narrows due to the traffic calmer under the bridge, if you don't take primary position early, cars try to squeeze past you at speed to make the next lights .

Really hope the person is ok.

Reports we had (Lewisham Cyclists) was that this was not a cyclist, but a pedestrian hit by a bus. Still horrid news and all the issues that make this area an unpleasant place to ride in also affect pedestrians.

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

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
