You should forward him the ones where you talk about hitting 8 peds in, like, 5 hours, so he can add those too
bothwell-
- 8 peds incidents in about a year.
4 of which were peds running into the side of me, not actually coming into contact with my bike but effectively crashing side on into me.
2 front on strikes, peds running out on me from stationary traffic into non stationary traffic, one other cyclist went down in one of these incidents.
1 which ran out in front of me and a motorcyclist, striking the motorcyclist and then me. That was a bad night.
And the last/worst incident I actually avoided a front on strike with an emergency stop that led to me being run over by a cyclist.... Broken rib, cracked another one, lots of my blood on Westminster Sq, couldn't walk for a week etc. Maybe he can repost that.

What Mark left out is that the "two minor rider down incidents" we're appalling cyclists crashing into other cyclists, absolutely nothing to do with motorists what so ever.
And if he bothered to do any research my "new", much faster and safer route, the Old Kent Road has zero cycling infrastructure. Compared to the "terrifying" Camberwell Church Rd>Camberwell Green>Kennington Rd route with cycle lanes on the outside of the road, perfect for *undertaking *.
I think I'm going to get a twitter account.
