Riding along Lower Road heading towards Greenwich and approaching the junction Orange Place where a car was parked on the side road and looks like a mountain bike on the side of the pavement with a bag of stuff on the floor. The pavement along that area was policed taped and a few policeman at the scene.

Anyone heard about the news or if the rider is safe?

Post on twitter shows a photo from FaceBook claiming it was fatal. No confirmation but I would only expect to hear something tomorrow. I hope merely serious, social media reports are usually very unreliable.

Frick! I hope this isn't true and the rider is on the mends.

I've just asked the guy on Twitter, and he has advised me to check with TfL/Met Police. Hmmm. I have checked sources at work and they have heard nothing about this incident, so please take with a pinch of salt - for now. I have also passed on the tweet.

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

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

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