8:50, zebra crossing on Gt Russel Street, just East of Bury Place:
A middle aged guy in fluoro doesn't spot the pedestrian crossing and passes on my right. He spots the ped at the last second and slams the brakes on and up goes the back wheel. I'm thinking "oh shit---endo!", but the wheel slips to the side and he goes down quite gently.
I hop off to check he's ok (he is) but the first thing he does is apologise to the ped and call himself out. Doubt you're on here but hope there isn't much bruising.
