This morning at about 8am, I'm cycling along Palmer Place just after crossing Holloway Road, heading to Liverpool Road. There's a queue of traffic ahead of me stopped at the lights so I'm going pretty slowly. A guy on a red and black Cervelo road bike passes me at speed and is obviously not looking where he's going because he crashed straight ito the back of the car at the back of the queue. He was lucky not to go through the rear windscreen or do any significant damage to the car because he was going pretty fast. I stopped to check if he was ok, he said he was but looked in some pain. Don't know how much damage he did to his bike, maybe bust the forks or front wheel. It was completely his fault because the car was stationary, perhaps he'll look where he's going a bit more in future.
