The cyclist, in her 30s, was treated for leg injuries and taken to Whipps Cross University Hospital.
Her injuries are not believed to be life threatening.
The private ambulance was being used by the Patient Transport Service.
The Hackney-bound lane of Lea Bridge Road remains closed. Motorists are being advised to use alternative routes.

Maybe she was using head phones as many cyclists and joggers do when training.
I must say that if you are destined to be hit by a vehicle then the best thing to hit is an ambulance I think.
