I saw the result of some kind of collision on the Embankment cycle lane this morning. Lots of blood. Looked like two ladies had somehow crashed into one another head-on. Both appeared to be bleeding from their noses/faces. Lots of cyclists already stopped and attending to them, so I didn't stick around.
I find the idea of cyclists travelling in two directions at (relatively) high speed on a pretty narrow bit of tarmac with kerbs on either side to be a ridiculous idea. Always feel like I'm seconds away from witnessing or being involved in some kind of accident along there.
My commute involves a bit like this and I'm constantly terrified of someone popping out of a row of cyclists coming in the other direction straight into my path.
I spose it's no different to cars on a road, though.
