These are great. Would also like to order if another list gets going.

Sorry to hear about this. Hope your girlfriend feels better soon. Bound to shake her up a bit.

With driving like that hopefully the driver will be picked up elsewhere soon (are there any more cctv cameras further along the road that could be checked?)

It wouldn't be politic to say too much but I do have a claim going through at the moment in regards to recovering costs/personal injury.

The PC was great and made sure he got the drivers details - put them in my bag for me so they would be easy to find. The paramedics were uniformally great too. Luckily the accident wasn't too far away from Kings - and being a teaching hospital (and a slow day in A&E) with lots of specialists I got a great deal of attention (Max-Fac etc).

I was a bit dismayed at receiving the standard 'not enough evidence to proceed with further action' letter from the police. There was one guy who identified himself as a witness and plenty of other people around.... but hey, I suppose I didn't really expect much more. It would have been of some satisfaction if the driver had been sent on one of those training/awareness courses though. Hopefully he'll look out for cyclists a bit more carefully from now on though...

Heal quickly Fenella.

It's been a 'mare around there for yonks, particularly with all the pipe replacement on Camberwell New Road.

Glad you're in one piece and have made a good recovery (apart from your knees). Was the driver caught?

Yeah, there was a policeman at the scene very quickly and he took the driver's details. In fact the PC brought my bike to the hospital and put it in a store room round from resus where I was treated, bless 'im (I didn't have a lock with me at the time).

Hallo - I was searching for possible witnesses when I found this thread - it was me on the road. I was heading up towards Oval when a car going in the opposite direction turning across my path as I was crossing the yellow box. I've got a few impressive scars and my knees are still giving me a few problems but I'm ok - could have been a lot worse. My Langster got written-off however and I damaged my Sidis :(

Anyway, it's really heart-warming to know that there are concerned people taking note. Not to make anyone vomit but that's one of the great things about the LFGSS forum/members. :)

Best, Opi.

I saw this just over a week ago. Great stuff, definitely recommend it. Pantani lives....

there are plans afoot to have a londonfgss team coach to rival the dulwich paragon team bus

Booking privately cost no more than the 'official' coaches and it saves hanging around for hours, waiting for the main coaches - or running the risk of arsey train conductors (sorry to hear about the hassle).

Great event though. Good to see a few familiar faces from the 50 Fixed ride the other Sunday, sorry I didn't say hello (bit too shell-shocked had a knee the size of a balloon) and was too busy trying to stay on the back of the blue train the rest of the time.

Opi.

Hallo, I'll be Dunwiching but will be riding with a group from Dulwich Paragon. Hope to spot a few faces from the 50-Fixed Women ride on the way.

See you at the beach...

Don't laugh; it was a very traumatic moment for me. I was considering paying a small child to fill the water bottle up on my behalf - it was THAT BAD!

Very sad to hear this.

I passed by about 9 this morning and it wasn't until I got to work and read an email from a mate that I realised that it was a cyclist who'd been hit. Such a horrible junction, that Brixton Road/Oval intersection (where I was knocked off three months ago).

So sorry to hear of yet another cyclist/lorry fatality. :(

I must reiterate the thanks to Clefty and Miss Socks for leading the ride and also to all the traffic-stoppers. Great to meet you all (and good to see a couple of familiar faces!). Kat - seeing the Penny at the front of the line of riders made me smile so much. Just brill. Hope the crack gets sorted. (And that roadies with phone cameras acquire more manners ;) )

Memories of the ride form the below list:
Congregating at Buck Palace
The Penny, and seeing the grins on the faces of those who saw it
Joanna Lumley
Whistles
Being told off for riding in an area of Richmond Park not permitted for cycling - by a copper in a ruddy great 4X4!
The 'bike tree'
Mango
Deer
Another fab batch of chocolate brownies
It not raining - well, not properly
The hill in Wandsworth
Trying to keep green bits of blossom out of a pint
...And, jolly fine company. Thanks ladies!

Look forward to the next ride!
TFFN,
Opiumia (Sarah - Genesis Skyline and red shiny Sidis)

Have lurked from time to time and only recently properly activated my account but hope to join you ladies on Sunday (though free not fixed!)
