Just before blackfriars going eastbound, looked like they might've rear ended a car, by the way their front forks were bent backwards

passed about 8.20 as rider was on spinal board going into ambulance, couldnt tell if was ok or not...

    Was it a white and blue Trek? I passed at 8.40-ish and a policeman was carrying it - had a snapped top tube. No ambulance though. Fingers crossed they're ok. :(

    This is pure speculation, but there is a turning into/out of Temple Gardens on that stretch.

    There must have been two riders down this morning. As I came past Temple Gardens at around 7:55 there was a chap lying in the road with his head resting on a makeshift rucksack pillow being assisted by another cyclist and a very sheepish looking scooter rider hovering close by. Looked like minor grazes and all under control so didn't stop. Hope both riders are OK

    It seemed to be a crazy day in London this morning. I was cut up several times, then about 06:45 in Northumberland Ave I had a BMW swipe me with his door mirror and try and crush me against parked cars.

    Scared the crap out of me!
