Not been able to do much work, I'm so angry.

Thanks, will do.

Riding along peckham road along the right side of a queue of traffic waiting at the junction with southampton way. So I'm riding along, thankfully not very fast, and an idiot decides to pull out from the queue of cars to jump the line and turn right onto Southampton Way. He's about 12 cars back in the queue. Gave no signal, just went for it as I was level with him. I slam on the brakes, can't avoid him without going into oncoming traffic and I manage to jump off my bike and take a tumble, cutting up and bruising my knee, landing on my hands (one of which is only just recovered after fracturing it in May).

Of course when I had dusted myself down, I saw that he was just up the road still waiting to turn right so I approached his car and told him he caused me to crash. Him and his mate had nasty smirks on their faces. He told me he signalled and then just laughed and drove off.

I got his numberplate and I will be visiting peckham police station ASAP. Think it was outside a petrol station, so should be on CCTV.

So angry. Leaving the scene of an accident in which someone is hurt. Horrible man.

7 cameras I think. New one is "parrot cam" on his shoulder

bars, helmet, rear, stick, left drop, right drop, parrot

a guy rode into the back of me this morning.

I'm on my pub bike these days due to my other bikes being out of action:

single speed
nondescript frame covered in stickers
wald front basket with wooded base
usually with red messenger bag or kinoko musette on my back.

I ride to work in hampstead from honor oak.

say hi if you see me!!!

he just turned and said "I'll f*****g have you too, mate, let's go"

did he look anything like this?

First commute after 3 weeks off the bike with a fractured hand.

Never had a cyclist undertake me so close as today. I was maximum about a foot and a half away from the curb riding slowly behind a bus and whooosh... through he goes to try and go down the inside of two buses, centimetres away from me. He nearly gave me a heart attack! Asked me "what am I supposed to do then?" when I told him not to be such an idiot.

Took my newly purchased rolleiflex out and about saturday and sunday. lots of intrigued people sparked up conversation with me about it. fun!

one said "so, like, is that instagram mark 3 or something?"

where's good to get black and white 120 film developed?

Was it fun? The presenters come across as pretty nice chaps.

How far did you get?

I had a great time. We did well...

I was in the audience. Oral charity?

Ha! Yes!!! Lots of fun, and I thought I'd really screwed up when he asked which countries the charity works in.

I was on pointless yesterday (filming, not broadcast)

So you rely on a stranger being able to spot hazards that you can't and point them out to you?

no. I would just consider that to be a nice thing to do for someone. there was a pothole on waterloo bridge that I used to see people hit for example. it was small by very deep so I would just give it a wee point to when I rode past it.

sometimes they're not that easy to spot though. not always due to riding close to someone

If I see a massive pothole, I'll give a point.

Just bought a rolleiflex f/3.5 TLR!

My flatmate did the dunwich dynamo with a broken hand and after 3 nights of no sleep at secret garden party. Right hand broken too, so could only use back brake. I can't compete with him.

Van didn't stop. Probably didn't even bloody realise what they did.

Yeah. Just got a splint thing on for a few weeks. Counting myself very lucky. Lots of people saw it and were very helpful. And police were driving by moments later.

They were very helpful, but one did say to me "were you wearing a helmet?" and I said no I don't feel the need to wear one. His reply: "says the man with the grazed face". I just pointed at my swollen hand and said this is the problem.

Thankfully only a fracture. No cast needed

White van left hooked me on Walworth road yesterday evening. Didn't hit me but I braked too hard and flew over handlebars. Broke my hand. Now sat in fracture clinic. Boooooring

...wowwwww, great shot Sugoi!

Film / camera?

It's a canon av-1. not sure of the film actually.
