Watched some stupid cunt in Pearson cycles kit on a Bianchi plow into an old woman on Holland Park Ave.
She was using the crossing, there was no traffic, I was stopped at the lights on the other side of the intersection and he flew from the right and took her (and himself) down.
By the time the lights changed and I went past he was helping her up and some other riders appeared to be walking her to the side of the road.
I hope she's alright. It's a bit hard to drop the 'cyclist running down old lady' stereotype when this shit happens. Slow the fuck down near ped crossings and open your eyes.
I wonder if he was hammering on his way to Hillingdon for the racing?
