Was turning out of The Cut up Waterloo Road and saw a cyclist being loaded into an ambulance on Bayliss Road opposite.

Stopped to take a closer look and saw a Bianchi Pista with bullhorns propped up against the CCTV lamppost at junction of Bayliss Road and Spur Road (where all the cabs cross a cycle lane to get to the station). Nasty little junction

Couldn't tell what state he was in :(

I went by here about half an hour ago and there were no signs of a crash or a bike. I don't know if that's a good sign or not.

Hopefully that is a good sign as the accident investigators would probably still have it cordoned off. Hope that whoever it is recovers quickly and fully and really hope it was no one from here.

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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.
