Just now, probably about 6.10pm-ish, looked as if the chap had gone into the back of a taxi - rear window smashed. Was lying down but waving arms so hopefully the obvious scrapes/cuts were the worst of it.

Judging by the state of the back of the cab, he must have been doing a fair pace. I was glad to see him being sat up by the paramedics.

Heal up fast mate.

Was chatting to a bloke in the pub last night, and he witnessed this smash.

Apparently the cyclist was [edited].

Still. Heal up, dude.

Apparently the cyclist was going hammer and tongs and waaaay to close to the back of the cab.

Hearsay and gossip are dangerous things!

Would agree that this isn't the place for speculation and hearsay. Hope the rider 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

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
