Just saw an incident at Farringdon Road/Rosebery Avenue junction on the north side. Cyclist was on the ground next to a lorry being tended to by a few people.

Only saw it in a flash as I was crossing the junction the other way. Hope whoever was down is ok.

Jesus christ! So angry at hearing this same news. Poor cyclist... It's f@*king outrageous that this is so common. I'm sick to death of feeling like everyone on the road is out to kill us. I wanna enjoy enjoy my cycling again.

I really hope the rider is ok.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
