how the fuck did that happen!?

I'll know more later, and will be providing CCTV to the police. The BMW turned across his path, and it seems the biker grabbed a fistful of brake, and catapulted into the air, bike following.

Jeez, that's some scary shit, where the hell did the rider land ??

It seems as if he may have been was following and overtook on the right, then the Beemer turned, and his momentum carried the bike up with him and onto the roof. To be honest, he may also have come from the other direction, and gone up over the bonnet.

I do know that the rider fell off from the roof of the car, and had not one scratch on him.

I spoke to him, and he was in an absolute rage (a good sign; breathing well enough to be giving out the hairdryer treatment).

Good to hear that he was ok, could have been a lot, lot worse .......

as I was cycling home tonight I stopped at the lights next to an ambulance. The passenger paramedic asked if I was cycling to blackheath.
I said no, why?
He replied that a cyclist had just been killed in an rta there.

Dark times and RIP.

Are we becoming hypersensitive to accidents, or are there really more in London now?

Object just posted another about a rider down (bicyclist). Its bad.

wasn't that a couple of days ago? Either that or thats two in a week!

The bike is still on Old Street right now; its 19:33pm.

Is that on City Road? That was where I got smacked up. GA2G, how you come you've got cctv there? Don't have anything from 22/1/8 I guess?

Its right outside my workplace. Its Old Street, near St.Luke's Church.

Well fuck me sideways, my boss came in to work a couple of days ago and said that he had been held up by an accident where a motorcycle ended up on the roof of a car..... and now this, that's just freaky

FAIL!

Its right outside my workplace. Its Old Street, near St.Luke's Church.

Were you working there last January?

wow, it's like a scene from streethawk

glad the rider is ok

Those bloody BMW's! I'm sure there must be some statistics on BMW drivers? Glad it ended okay though. The motorbike accident at lunchtime on Victoria Street yesterday looked far worse.

Insane!

OKR was shut due to a bike crash this morning; looked like he had been undertaking in the bus lane and t-boned a left turning car and had rolled it on it's side! Alot of kinetic energy looked bad :(

i've seen quite a few on OKR and going through New Cross...its pretty dangerous.
