2012-05-31 - Rider Down, Regent's Park (SE Corner)

I witnessed an accident this morning; a rider was filtering on the left hand side of traffic and a passenger door opened.

The driver, a witness and I all stopped, exchanged details and called for an ambulance. The Parks Police also attended. The rider and the police have witness details and I directed the rider to our "what to do in an accident page"

The rider might have hurt his arm/leg but will be fine.

(His lovely new high spec road bike did endure some damage)

Arvy - what were you doing lapping Regents Park?

You do know training's cheating?

Which edge of the park?
There seem to have been a lot of incidents in this area in recent weeks.

South East corner (turning left as you head up towards Parkway) or the end closest to Great Portland St tube

And Mikey I will respond to you in another area of the forum more appropriate for such responses

Thanks Arvy, that's the same area as the incident reported on 21/05/12.

That corner can be sketchy when you're doing laps. Lots to keep your eye on. Heal soon rider. And bike. And drivers car door for that matter.

I hope the drivers door costs them a fortune, takes ages to be repaired and the colour does not match.

Hope the cyclists recovers quickly.
