2009-09-03 - Rider Down, Commercial Street

Looked fairly serious, some kind of broken limbs, the rider involved was on a grey/beige fixed gear with fluro yellow rear rim, couldn't tell you much else as the bike looked a little mangled.
He appeared to be breathing/talking/moving, it appeared to have involved a car, fingers crossed he's gonna be alright.

Oh shitbags. I hate these threads.

Arses.

However, with James' uncanny ability to tell what's going to happen in October, maybe the rider involved can now take avoiding action?

Where on com st?

Just a little bit before All Saints (Hanbury Street), on the opposite side of the road (the left if you're heading up towards Bishopsgate).

balls, hope he's all right, or as all right as can be

that crossing always seems really busy to me, even though it can't be that much going on in a four wayer?

Its busy but safe as long as you keep yourself on the outside of traffic and visible, too many people go flying up the inside of cars there and don't realise that they can't be seen by cars pulling onto commercial st from Hanbury street, lots of near misses mostly due to stupidity on the cyclists part, by the way I am not saying thats what happened here, just saying I see that a lot in this route, and I take it daily.

Fingers crossed.

fingers crossed for the rider.

Hope their ok!
