we got trapped at vauxhall bridge at approx 9:30, that was when i joined, got up late so i think you were probably ahead, we were goiung slow in the city
@PeterD emily is object17 just so you dont get confused, ride was salvageable but just quite sore, things like ditchling are a bitch when you've had a crash and you knee is annoying
@fatboyralph - don;t worry we're thinking about doing another one, 2 rules brakes for beginners and kevlar / puncture proof tires (7 punctures = a lot of waiting)

well the guy in the ambulance will get no sympathy from anyone
Basically stop by a pub to be warned the next hill is steep, this guy walks down he has no brakes and first ride fixed (muppet)
Then next hill little less steep so he tries to go down, i'm talking to object17/emily and he yells "get out the way" way too late hits me, emily and clips mike
So then emily land in the side of the road on some leaves - knee in a bad way
I land on the road - same knee and hand in a bad way
Man - on the floor in pain - cut on his faceLater we find out he broke his clavical / collar bone when he is taken away in ambulace with bike
BTW - local people were very friendly, helpful and kind
Reasons for accident
No brakes
First RIde Fixed gear ratio ... wait for it 50 : 14
The guy was quite old to 59so he's getting a bill from me for new shorts and undergarments
any questions - ask away
