Flash's bike

Shifty's picture

I suppose most of you have seen/heard what happened to Flash on Friday.
For those who haven't, a cab did a U turn in front of a bus outside 2 Chifley.
The resulting impact sent the cab over the footpath and into the wall of Chifley tower next to the cabstand shelter. Unfortunately flash sydbmaFlash's bike was locked to the pole next to the shelter and, infact half of it remained locked to the pole and under the taxi. The other half, well see for yourself.....

Bye bye Berretto

Hi, hope you won't find this an invasion of your space - I'm not a courier, just an avid cyclist.
I met flash a few months ago and actually took some pics of his bike for a blog I write. Bumped into him on Friday and he told me the sad story of why he wasn't riding the Berretto anymore.

I posted a story about it tonight, plus there's a story on the blog from when I originally met Flash if any of you are interested.
blog story about Flashs bike

Cheers,
Greg.

Was the taxi ok???

Seriously Doddy. Look at the the other photo.
Thank god the taxi was fucked too. The driver ended up in Hospital, but we think that was a ploy just to get away from the scene. Maybe he'll get deported.
TAXI 450. Watch out if you ever get back on the road. We gonna keep taking your mirrors as souvenirs

Mirrors?

Take his keys not his mirrors... Mirrors come in handy sometimes when your trying to tell if the motorist is paying attention or not.

Nah

Mirrors are fun. And this guy already proved that he's never paying attention. I mean fuck, busses are kind of easy to spot one would thik

yet another andy white frame

glad to hear flash was not on his bike when it happened

RIP and thank god you werent unlocking your bike.

I guess you can immortalise the rear triangle by taking off the cranks, bottom bracket and rear wheel then use it as a work stool.
