Anyone seen this?

An A4 flyer appealling for witnesses to a collision between a cyclist and a white van. Driver disputes events. Wonder what happened, the flyer must have been put up by the cyclist/victim...

    Yes, saw it and thought the same as you. If the police were involved, presumably they are not prepared to do anything more so the cyclist has taken matters into his own hands. I don't hold out much hope.

    I saw the flyer last night, it was on a lamp post at the Lights at the junction near Blackfriars.I was stood at those lights they have been retimed.Couldn't read it though as I was in the right hand turn lane to go towards Bank.

    Blackfriars is a poxy bridge sometimes and it seems more dangerous for cyclists with the new road layout.Then again so was the old layout.

    I have to say I was sceptical about the plans for the revised layout but I now feel it is better for cyclists and peds alike. A complete pain for motorists though.
