saw this yesterday around 6pm - two ambulances, bike down on the curb (not crushed), stuff on the ground but no blue tent / discarded clothing so fingers crossed it wasn't too serious!!

Yeah... I saw this too, was probably just before 6.

Looked to be a sit up and beg ladies bike that was on the ground. Maybe a Pashley, not sure.
Personal effects strewn across the road and a helmet on the tarmac.

Ambulances and police in attendance but no sign of any other vehicle pulled over or involved.

Hope you're ok rider.

I rode past this at about 5.20pm so the rider must have been in situe for a while. They were being attended to so I made my best attempt to avoid rubbernecking too much.

It happened at the first set of lights in the double set at the junction by on your bike.

my best guess would be it was a ped collision.

hope the rider heals up soon.

^ My bro rode past the clear-up after he or she had been taken to hospital.

I'm surprised we have no further details considering how many of us ride that road.

Hope she is ok

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.
