Man down - High Holborn

Ben6899

Man down on High Holborn this morning as I was walking to the office. A bloke on a Scott and an MG-F had collided - the MG-F had a smashed rear light and a dint on the nearside rear-facing panel. So it looks like the bloke on the bike perhaps rear-ended the car. But this could be way off and the damage may be coincidental.

He seemed okay, but shaken - was helped to the footway by a couple of pedestrians and the driver of the car. She was comforting him and stroking his knee/thigh as he sat on the kerb... which I thought strange, but she was perhaps a bit shook up too. I wouldn't mind a leg stroke on the walk to the office - might perk me up a bit.

If you read BR, then I hope you're okay (and that's a really nice bike you have!).

Give the woman a break; she's just had her car smashed up. Copping a grope at a cyclist's legs was probably a good way of taking her mind off things...

You'd think the girls that took me out would have offered a similar service. It's very dificult when your right hand is out of action.
Hope the chap in the OP is ok.

Is this the new dating technique to replace internet dating?

Knock them off bike

Chance'd be a fine thing. They knocked me off and forgot the puncing bit.

I suppose you could hold your breath and hope for CPR?

Every cloud does indeed have a silver lining.
