A cyclist was hit by a car on the Ridgeway in Enfield at 1pm today. He was taken to hospital with serious injuries. Fingers crossed for him. The story for the Enfield Advertiser is under the headline 'Traffic chaos at rush hour'. Unbelievable: http://www.enfield-today.co.uk/News.cfm?id=20108&headline=Traffic%20chaos%20at%20rush%20hour

There's a photo on the Stop Killing Cyclists Facebook page of this incident. I really hope it isn't as bad as it looks:

Very close to home & a road I've used to get to WNKR rides. Hope the rider pulls through.

Look like I have to log in to see it.

Fucking hate that group, hope the rider get well soon, and the driver prosecuted accordingly.

Someone on the stopkillingcyclists facebook page is claiming the rider died on the way to hospital, but I can find no evidence to support the claim.

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.
