Hey, have you guyz seen this? So cool.

Fingers crossed all involved are ok, it sounds like the cyclist might have got lucky and the motorcyclist took the brunt of it, I hope everyone made it out of this alive.
For those of you who are riding this route, be very careful, its extremely easy to get caught out by cars racing to be "the one in front" when the lanes filter down, I ride this route a lot as I live nearby and i've seen many cyclists get themselves into some pretty dangerous situations by either being too timid and not forcing vehicles to give them space, or just from not anticipating the traffic very well.
For this part of London Bridge I find the best approach is either a flat out sprint across the bridge to try and outrun traffic behind you so you have plenty of room to move around once you get to the bottleneck, then when you get into the section where it filters, plant yourself in the middle of the lane/lanes so vehicles cannot barge past you.
Alternatively if you keep your wits about you you can flick into the left turn only lane before hand where its a single lane instead of the much sketchier "bottleneck" on the right hand side (heading towards Bishopsgate over the Bridge), and then filter back into the 2 lane section heading towards Bishopsgate instead of embankment (if you are heading in that direction).
Or the Brave/stupid/safer option depending on which way you look at it, is to bunnyhop the traffic island in the middle and roll comfortably up both lanes without being disturbed by traffic.Good advice - I generally try to take the left-hand route as it gets pretty narrow down the right, though from what I could tell this morning it looked like the accident had happened on the south-bound side and spilled across the road; all the planning in the world is unlikely to prepare you for a motorbike flying across the carraigeway in the wrong direction...

Good lord, a man on the inside! I've had wo bikes nicked a Charge Plug Racer in 12/08 and a Fuji Track in 02/09 if anyone's bought a second hand Fuji Track I'll happilly re-imburse them, I have the frame number. Admittedly the locks I had were sh1te but I now use an Abus Discus, has anyone had a bike stolen with one of these?
Is the a list of locks out there and their subsequent ability to scupper crims?

I think / hope / am fairly certain that untaped bars are ok. It's unplugged bars that'll get you, ahem, barred.
You doing it tomorrow? I am.

I'm glad this thread exists.
Juan Atkins & Kevin Saunderson in particular i can't get enough of.
From them I got me into British stuff like LFO, and more modern stuff like John Tejada and Ghostly Records – all noticeably influenced by Detroit.
I saw Kevin Saunderson in Hearne Street car park last month - for a big man he can really move. It was a top night.
Also caught Jeff followed by Carl at Sonar this year; for a precious few seconds they were on stage together. Amazing. Of all the early pioneers I think Mills is my favourite.

hmm. edit. seems to have now changed somewhat. :-(
Reading that suggests that a) they'd have to make a specific request (which somehow I doubt they'd bother for a cycling-related incident), and b) the image will have been removed from the system by midnight the following day anyway.
