Sad news, RIP

Nice roll in to the city from Sydenham this morning - lovely cycling weather.

Terrible, terrible news. RIP rider :(

I'm seeing more and more of these stickers on the back of trucks recently

I think they are better than the "stay back" stickers but are still trying to shift the responsibility away from the driver. Best place for a sticker is inthe cab telling the driver not to driver like a dick and not to put other road users at risk

good to hear you brother's ok @highroad, wish him a speedy recovery

Passed this today at about 8.30am, fixed gear/single speed bike at side of roar looking quite bent with the saddle lying beside it. Broken glass still covering the road. Didn't look good but hopefully therider will be ok.

North bound carriage way still closed off with ploice tape, lots of police around. Doesn't look good.

Awful news, RIP rider

r.i.p. :(

Saw this special attempt at locking when I arrived at work this morning. Two decent d-locks and the only thing they've managed to secure is the front wheel to the stand.

I experienced the same thing at the same place about 8am, though without the fall. Lost the back end but managed to stay upright. Will be taking it very cautiously there on my way home this evening. Water main has been burst for weeks.

RIP fellow cyclist, thoughts with family and friends.

Just changed from 46/16 to 46/17. First day commuting on it today Sydenham - Aldgate, think my knees prefer it, doesn't seem much slower either.

RIP rider :(

RIP. Awful news.

Just recieved an email from TFL detailing their plans and consultation for redevelopment of Old Street Roundabout https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/roads/old-street-roundabout

Train from Sydenham to London Bridge was rammed with people due to a broken down train and various cancelled services and and an electrical fault. Had to stand in a carriage full of people with the man next to me breathing his stinking breath in my face. Got soaked in the rain walking to the office from London Bridge, almost run over by a motorbiker doing about 60 though Tower Hill. I missed my bike this morning. 1/10

RIP rider. Very sad news.

i'd buy a steel framed fuji track classic. I've had mine fora year or so - no complaints

for whom?!

For all

What did you expect? A hug and a handjob?

sounds good

so i think we're all agreed that kicking out at vehicles is the behaviour of a twat. i'll try not to do it again. not that it makes much difference but the guy didn't merely toot at me, there were several long blasts of his horn which appeared to me that he was trying to tell me to get the fuck out of his way. i did start off trying to be reasonabe with him but his unwillingness to listen to my point about why i was in the middle of the road was what made me angry and i kicked the car more in frustration with the ignorant cock than any real feeling of violence. but anyway - i'm a twat.

Yes, poor form. Hence the reason for calling myself out about it, but thanks for reminding me. The view must be great from that high horse.

Calling myself out - got angry at a guy in a shitty red polo who blasted his horn at me as I took primary though a mini roundabout on Mayow Road, Sydenham. Inevitably I caught up with him at a red light on Sydenham road and tried to be calm and asked him if he was in a hurry. He said I "should show courtesy to drivers as I was going too slow and holding him up". I told him to fuck off and kicked the side of his car before cycling off. Annoyed that I lost my cool, should have just tried to stay calm and not approach him.

RIP rider, very sad news
