Clapton Pond
On the way home last night, front wheel taco'd (and separated from the bike)and rider surrounded by paramedics. Didn't see it happen but it was right next to the bus stops just after the roundabout so I am guessing he / she pulled out into traffic and got hit. Anyone know anything more?

Also just down the road on Lee bridge road the bridge was shut to traffic with Cops everywhere, but I couldn't see what the cause was. All I could see was a scooter with no seat.

Bad journey home really.

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

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

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