London Fixed-gear and Single-speed SJS Cycles

GA2G · 15th January 2009

I saw a cyclist being put on a stretcher this morning, exactly outside London Bridge Station (Tooley Street). His right foot didn't look right, and I think the ambulance staff had stabalised his head. Didn't look good. I think he rode a geared Specialized Tricross, as it was parked up nearby, with no rider, and lights still flashing.

If anyone knows him, I hope he's ok.

The Seldom Killer has just got one of those. Fingers crossed.

Not TSK as I've just seen him post elsewhere.

Shit. I don't know what was up with the roads this morning, but the traffic was really heavy and drivers were especially irrate. I've never heard so much honking of horns or seen so much shitty driving in one 30 minute journey.

Hope the guy is okay.

Not me, I live in Swindon.

Also, my bike isn't geared.

I had a lorry almost run me over on borough high street today, most threatened I think I've ever felt (without it being my fault anyway)... had a how am I driving sticker... 0800 22 55 22 or something like that... anyone think it's worth calling up and complaining?

The way he was driving I wouldn't be surprised if it was him...

Hope he's alright (whether he's on here or not!)

yes, talk to HR about it worst case for you is he'll get a telling of and be more aware hopefully...

Done... surprisingly easy (considering I couldn't remeber much about the van!)

Some Dangerous intersections near London Bridge way especially the main station entry/exit. Always a go slow zone for me!!

Won't be any of the recent tricorss buyers, as it was single speed.
