"Witness Sally Dunstone tweeted: “Terrible accident involving a cyclist on Commercial Road. If you cycle in London always wear a helmet.”"

Sigh - why always the helmet talk/victim blaming.

RIP cyclist.

Until the full nature of the accident is known, let's be careful with any remarks that could appear to apportion partial blame to the victim.
@socialamnesia please come back and edit your post.

think you may have misunderstood me - the quote links a high speed accident with a polystyrene panacea. It apportions blame unfairly and that was the reason for the sigh.

Have edited to make it a little clearer.
