morning everyone
sorry this is a bit late, but had no access to the internet yesterdauy
yesterday driving back from Ikea Croydon I witnessed what appeared to be a hit-and-run on Streatham High Road... an older gentleman was kneeling on the pavement being looked after by two police officers. He was wearing a helmet (AND full fluorescent gear!) and there didn't appear to be any blood, but it looked as though he was attempting to be sick and in a great deal of distress.
no one else was present, and his bike lay twisted beside him on the asphalt.
an ambulance passed us both ways on our return home.
this all leads me to suspect that this is yet another example of how disgusting people can be by hitting a cyclist (an older man, at that!) and just taking off like a coward. i hope they get what they deserve. more importantly, i hope the cyclist comes out of this ok.
