Female rider being attended by ambulance on descent from Angel southbound, appears to be at junction where one-way bends round to the right. Clear accident black spot due to cars changing lanes.

Paramedics have defib out but rider appears to be conscious.

Hope she is okay.

hippy

I rode past her about 30min ago. Couldn't see any signs of trauma but she was stationary on the ground. Hope it's precautionary and she's ok.

Rider was conscious and talking to medics when I went past. Awful pinch point. Equally bad going the other way where buses and bikes can go straight on but cars have to go left. Seen some very near misses there.

Indeed, it's worse going the other way what with left-hooks from all traffic except buses, but at least riders will not be going as fast up the hill.

People complain about the 'powers that be', but he has a name and it's 'Boris Johnson'.

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:

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

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