Sorry to hijack this thread but I can't start threads yet. Just wanted to bring attention to two accidents this afternoon. Borough High Street - cyclist and a lorry and also Kirkdale in Sydenham - cyclist and a bus.
Hope both cyclists make a recovery. Not a good week.
Boris will be officially opening these at 08.30 on Monday by Clapham Common opposite Narbonne Avenue. Just in case you, you know, wanted a word.
