And Finally... Boris Johnson nearly hit by flying car (video)

Boris Johnson narrowly escaped injury yesterday when a truck almost dragged a car in front of his bike.

The Mayor of London was one of a few cyclists pedalling along when the truck doors swung open and hooked on to a parked car, which lurched viciously across the road.

One witness said: "This great big truck just grabbed the car, spun it around and dragged it along. I've never seen anything like it. It could've been a catastrophe."

Mr Johnson said: "I am relieved no one was hurt."

The incident was captured on CCTV in Limehouse, East London, at 11am, showing the cyclists rounding a bend with the truck on the outside.
