Yet again we here of cyclist being killed on the London roads, and on the cycle tracks that are supposed to help cyclist.
To be honest with you all, l am totally surprised that there is not more either killed or seriously injured.
I cycle each day in my job, but 90% of the time cyclist's do not obey the law, either going through red lights or crossing busy jctns.
In London, there are police cyclist, that go and give out fines for them if they go through red lights.
In fact only yesterday l was driving down a busy road that runs between Gillete Corner and passed Warren Farm football fields, it was totally dark, and in front of me was a cyclist. NO lights, NO hi vis jacket yet just cycling.
I feel sorry for them if they get injured, but they MUST be seen, to avoid accidents.
The tragic accident that l have ever seen, was when a cyclist passed a Lorry on its left and there was a clear sign on the Lorry NOT to pass on his left. And the cyclist was trapped between the left side of the lorry and a road metal fence and she was crushed to death.
If they are to use the roads, then they must wear proper gear and lights. Tragic deaths can be avoided, and cyclist MUST be taught this. As l said l do cycle approx 20 miles per day.
