Didn't see what happened. Just caught the cyclist getting up and an (elderly?) chap lying prone and unconscious in the middle of the road. Lots of people around. Hope all parties involved ok.

    Some many people cycle like dicks around brixton, with so many busses and pedestrians you need to be going slow.

    Just after McDonalds if you're heading north, around 8.40am. View was obstructed by a bus. Saw the cyclist picking himself up, and as I rode past, a man was unconscious on the ground. I'm assuming collision was between them two but the cyclist may have fallen off his bike after the incident already happened.
  • There was a pedestrian knocked over near Tavistock Sq last night too.

    Young lass on the ground being attended to by paramedics and a chap on a road bike standing by.

    This is when 3rd party insurance through LCC or CTC becomes useful !
