London: Two Messengers Down in One Day.

I just read about this over on Moving Target. Apparently, two London messengers we involved in separate accidents today. They survived, but it sounds like it was touch-and-go, and both are now in hospital. Check out this photo of one of the bikes involved, taken by Todd over on londonfgss.com.


Jaysus, the state of that bike, it's mangled! Messengers work hard for little money, so if you have a few spare sovs, head over to the Bicycle Messenger Emergency Fund to help out.

[UPDATE] So, this is all second hand info, but I heard that one messenger broke some bones in his foot and will be out of work for a while. The other messenger, however, sustained serious soft tissue damage to his legs, and he may never be able to ride his bike again.
