Last Tuesday evening (1st Nov), roughly 6pm, there was an accident involving a cyclist on Haymarket nr the junction with Charles II Street. I arrived just after the event, so didn't see what happened - the rider was out cold on the deck. When police arrived, they dumped his bike some yards away at the side of the road. My only experience of a serious accident is a bike nearly going missing at hospital so I volunteered to keep it safe in my nearby office and the police/ambo people would make sure he got my details. I rode past a bit later - the rider was being treated and said he would call me
Having heard nothing since, I am rather concerned communication broke down somewhere and indeed whether I did the right thing in the first place.... I found this forum whislt wondering what to do - the bike is a fixed gear bob jackson frame, with single front brake and clipless pedals, size medium-ish. Damage is minimal, I think: the front wheel looks a bit dodgy.
So, if you the rider are on here, then first of all I hope very much that you are OK and please get in touch. If anyone else reading knows who this might be, please post. I really, really want to get the bike back to its owner and am a bit stuck, hence this appeal. Any other ideas would also be appreciated
Thanks for reading
Well done - it's nice to hear a story like this!
the hospital/ a&e may not give any info due to data protection.
They may be able to pass on the details of where the bike is and how to get it though rather than giving out details.
We may have traced him... or at least a work colleague of his.
We're going to try and get this verified soon, but just in case it isn't him please continue to spread the word.

Fingers crossed!
