  This is my girlfriend’s Dad (though I am writing this from her account), John is an experienced and keen cyclist who often rides the roads around the Cawood area.

  Police are treating this as a potential hit and run, due to the severity of his injuries, and suggest that he may have been hit from behind. Unfortunately there are no witnesses.

  From his bike computer, and the time of day, we think he was heading home from his ride, so possibly heading south on the B1222, before Cawood bridge.

  Both myself and my girlfriend are London-based cyclists, and obviously this is a London-based forum in general, but I was hoping that some people here might know people who cycle in that area, or might know someone who knows someone...

  Information about any vehicles seen driving erratically or dangerously in that area, even if not particularly close to the site of the incident, would be useful. Please go directly to the police if you know anything. martin.hayes@northyorkshire.pnn.police.uk

  John is still in intensive care, but we have our fingers crossed.

  Thanks for reading this, please spread the word.

  Ha. Massive. And I really did try to follow http://www.lfgss.com/thread46125.html as well...

  Sorry to post off topic- I've followed this for ages but only just registered to try to report an incident (today 17:55 Clerkenwell Road, idiot in black BMW cutting us up (almost definitely on purpose) to swerve into Leller's Valeting Centre- rider down but luckily seemed unhurt) and found myself in 'the nursery', so apologies this is an inappropriate place...

  However- a tenuous link- I do remember someone on BTOB somehow being able to discern an indiscernable street sign from a tag, and was hoping they might be able to perform the same magic on the reg plate on this photo (and also advise on model of car)? Then I'll submit to here for whatever good that will do - https://secure.met.police.uk/roadsafelondon/ Thanks! (And fingers crossed the photo works, although 2 more posts and 22 hours to go anyway)
