Couldn't see much as I passed, but there was an ambulance parked outside the arcade on the corner of Atlantic Road/Coldharbour Lane at about 08:30 this morning. The back doors of the ambulance were open and there was a kids-sized mountain bike inside. There was a car parked at an angle across the pavement and a driver being interviewed by police just behind it, and two or three bike cops swarming around. The paramedics didn't seem to be in any hurry, so hopefullythe cyclist (kid?) wasn't hurt, and the ambulance was just a precaution in this case.

Hmm, that'd been all cleared up by the time I passed through today.

Although with that particular barbers over the road, I'm not sure you could assume that a small bike = a small person. There's the whole adult on a mini bike thing going on. Either way, hope the person's ok.

The cars taking a right turn onto Cool Arbour always seem to skip the lights.

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.
