After Fixed Crash (brick Lane)

I need every one who saw the van drive into the two guys on brick lane after the fixed party to write down what they saw, and send it to me in a pm with their name and email. there where a lot of people there.

I hope some one got the full plate, I only got half of it.

Both guys are ok, and we are going to make a report of it today as the police could not be asked to take one last night.

shit, what the hell happened?

a midnight blue ford minivan was driving east across osborne street/ brick lane. He had to yeild right of way. our group of cyclists was north bound on brick lane. A few bikes go past the junction, driver sees a group of cyclists, speeds up, hits a kid from fixed gear london, and carlos from polo. they both go down. the van slows a bit then speeds off, and turns its lights off. me and Hill Billy gave chase, it went east, then turned south, then we lost it at the junction of whitechaple high street, we think it went east.

it was not a mini cab, but looked and drove like one. The driver did not care for the saftey of the people he hit, he made no attempt to stop at the junction despite having to, and he did not hit the frist cyclists but the middle of the group. he hardly slowed for the impact, and had no intention of stopping.

also i want to say thanks to Bjorn who gave me his phone (mine died) to ring the cops, and hung out with us while we waited for them to not show up.

shit! hope the guys are ok, i'm gonna call carlos. sick fuckin news.

Ffs

Sick fucker. Hope they get him and when they do throw the book at him. I'm thinking dangerous driving and leaving the scene of an accident is potentially a custodial sentence?

That was nasty, we rocked up after it had happened to see people on the floor and mangled bikes.
Nice one Chris for your cool head. I didnt see anything so I cant help unfortunately.

what kid did they hit from fgl?

what kid did they hit from fgl?

i thought it was you?

yeah who was it?

unbelievable.

When you say "kid," do you mean one of the young persons, or just some "dude" (the way "kid" is often used in North America)?

That's fucking awful! What an unforgivable prick! Well done for sorting this out for the victims Chris, very level of you.

I hope he gets madly booked.

the fucken police didn't even show? that is terrible. my blood is boiling right now. ffs.

Where can I get one of these in London? Thanks for your help.

I hope you manage to get enough details to get this guy, Chris.

I see your Glock, hippy.

no match for my Desert Eagle.

(with powertap)

So yeah i was next to Carlos, dude hit my left leg and my back wheel to be honest all i got was a graze on my shin and some baggy spokes, i was in shock for Carlos he was right next to me and all i was worried about was weather he was ok, just want to take a second, to thank you Chris, haven't seen anyone deal with a situation like that in such a manner much respect. as i said glad people walked away from this one. Give me a call Chris about the police report, my work said it was ok for me to leave and come with you guys if needed.

Again thank you. and thank god carlos is ok and it was not worse.

Jordan

that's serious, keep us up to date

i have only a few things to say:

1) chris, you rock

2) fuck the po-leece

3) im strangely injured (but with only sore bits, and some leaky bits) only on the other side (right) of me body, meaning i must have done a 360 in mid air, only transverse (as apposed to a veritical, typical ie back flip style)

Do there seem to be more incidents of vehicles deliberately or recklessly ramming cyclists?

In the past few days:

1. Critical Mass - Jag at Marble Arch
   
2. London lights, police van on eyebrows
   
3. Brick Lane
   
   

Disturbing.

sounds like this was a van up to no good, in a hurry and not likely to stop for anyone, even the fast-acting, dynamic police force.

dodgy fucks.

glad no-one was seriously hurt, and at least it was a group and not some poor fucker left to die alone in the gutter

Glad hear that your OK this morning Carlos and Jordan. That was one of the scariest things I have ever seen.

Nice one Chris for taking control. I cannot believe the police didn't show, whats the fucking point in them being around? CUNTS!

illegal minicab, hit and run, dangerous driving, vehicle used as weapon and no police??

quick question; what about the CCTV?
