YOP, you really do come out with some twaddle, I thought you were a good student but the years since GE have made you lazy.

Have you seen how many cyclists have died in London in the last week?
I that's the best you can up with, I'm off to watch 'I'm a celebrity, Dancing on Ice'.

but before I go;

Helmet saved my life, says cyclist trapped under car in Spitalfields

A cyclist who was trapped under a car has revealed that a helmet she bought on a whim saved her life.

Claire Pepper, 27, was cycling home to South London last night when she was involved in a collision with a car in Commercial Street at the junction with Hanbury Street in Spitalfields.

It left her trapped under the car which was lifted by a group of 10 bystanders who helped free Claire.

Claire, a fashion photographer, said she owes her life to the new helmet she bought recently on a whim. She said: “Its the first time I have worn it. I just bought it on a whim and I was thinking I should have asked for it for Christmas but I’m glad I did buy it.”

Claire said she was “super grateful” to the people who lifted the car off her.

Her boyfriend Jonathan Gales, 27, who was at her bedside, urged other cyclists to wear their helmets. He said: “It definitely saved her life. It was a brand new helmet and it was absolutely smashed, her head was stuck under the car.”
