Monsters galore

20-10-2009, 10:34 AM

Big spotting on the way to work this morning...

1. Black/red 695 with a male rider
2. Red 695 both from Trafalgar Square to Blackfriars.
3. White 696/1100 going East past Embankment
4. And finally a red S4 (I think) with high levels) near Tower Bridge.

Anyone here?

Must have missed you as I was part of the poor sods fighting it through crazy gridlock traffic since Victoria Embankment..
What happened there by the way was it an accident like last time around (R1 totalled if I recall) or a planned closure I didn't foresee?

There was a cyclist down on Victoria Embankment near Temple. Not sure what the circumstances were around it but there were a fair few people gathered and a police car had just pulled up.

You were probably in earlier than me as by the time I hit that spot -around 9am- it took me around maybe 25 minutes to reach Blackfriars..

I went past there around 8.40?. Wasn't sure if it was a cyclist or motorcyclist but saw quite a few police bikes fighting their way through the traffic trying to get to it (I ws going westbound, the accident was eastbound)

I read on another forum that it was a biker

Definitely a cyclist down, I went within 10 feet of him. Around 8.30 and there were some people gathered helping out. a VFR type bike parked on the sidewalk (not sure if involved or stopped to help) and the first police car at the scene was alongside me at the lights prior.
