Hi all. My wife saw the accident/incident/crime scene after the cyclist had been taken to hospital and said that the all the people in the area were in silent shock. She had gone back to the flat to get her bike after finding the buses were on diversion not knowing why. Understandibly she was extremely shocked. She has not used her bike much since returning to work after maternity leave and seeing that has not been encouraging. I used to be very encouraging of her cycling to work but now I'm happy for her to bus it as I worry about that kind of thing happening to her. Having a child makes me worry more thats for sure. I saw the flowers there today saying that they were sorry that the person had died. Initials at the end were "RB cyclist" so perhaps someone who saw the scene and assumed that the woman could not have survived. I phoned "South London Press" newspaper to tell them and they did not know at that time (11am). I assume they will do a story, even if it was not a fatality it is certainly a horrific thing to happen and deserves attention. My wife's spirits were raised seeing the postings of all you people showing sympathy. Sorry for the long post i'm new :)
