Bloke on Boris bike.

what appear to be a hit from behind by a I Become Death taxi, black Mercedes (I think) MPV (rear wheel indented but still standing on it's kickstand) when going past Northington Street, which is pretty known for a series of near misses having witnesses them.

Bloke appear to be fine, he was sitting on kerbs talking to the polices.

apparently the smaller the vehicle in front of you, the closer you drive.... it must be part of the highway code

Coincidentally, I was nearly side swiped by a minicab matching your description at about 5.30pm on Grays Inn Road tonight. Cab changed into left lane without indicating whilst I was in primary and obviously didn't see me lit up like an xmas tree...

I managed to evade as something about his driving focussed my attention on what he was planning to do...strange how you can sometimes have a sixth sense for these things.

Hope the guy is alright. I fear this will happen a lot in the winter, I cant help but think that the lights on Boris Bikes are too low to be seen in congested traffic.

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.
