  My friend Claire was the 2 minute rider behind the chap who was killed and was one of the first on the scene. Keep thinking how I'd cope if I came upon that type of situation. Gives me a horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach...

  I noticed the one down the road from me in Tooting on the Tooting High Street / Blackshaw junction went missing. I know that junction's tight for left turning buses where it was placed so it coulda been dragged off by one of them? Or just nicked, most probably...

  Yeah, that junction is shit. Too narrow for two lanes plus a bike lane. The right hand lane is for right turning traffic only, but cars use it to jump ahead of the traffic in the nearside lane. Was just horrible seeing the poor guy being worked on by paramedics this morning.

  Sadly the 16 year old cyclist didn't survive...

  I'm in Nutwell Street. I think the chopper was around at about 8.45-9.
