Reports of a rider down on Evelyn Street from a friend this morning.

"Praying it's not as bad as it looks." - he said.

Locals saying it's outside McDonalds. Road closed and back of vehicle screened off. Hoping for the best possible outcome for the rider. Route of proposed CS4, but not time or place to discuss here.
Not been good on the streets of Deptford over the last 48hours. A woman killed on Deptford Bridge junction yesterday. Not a cyclist, but those big junctions are difficult for all of us out there on the roads who don't have a ton of steel armour to protect us. Feeling sad for her loved ones.

Colleague at work said the front left wheel/tyre was damaged and deflated as he walked past, do wonder if the tyre blew and the car swerved into the rider. Either way, hope they're okay!

Turns out I vaguely know his wife, he's on the mend now but pretty broken. Driver prosecuted. Rear-ended by a car in a bus lane, stuck under car then driver reversed back again!! Unbelievable, and lucky to be alive.

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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.
