So terrible. Completely preventable

I've started four different sentences, and the despair I feel will be nothing compared to those close to the lady who lost her life on such a lovely London morning.

Hit and run as well.

I've never crossed the river via that bridge and having just looked at it on streetview I never will.

Not clear yet that it was intentional however.
An HGV wouldn't feel a thing so the driver may not have been aware. Which is not to excuse their driving as ultimately if they hit someone, they were driving too close.

awful. RIP rider.

This is very sad reading :( RIP lady cyclist

So sad. RIP Rider

Pretty sure I've cycled over that bridge a few times. This shouldn't be happening :(

RIP Rider. Thoughts to all those who knew and loved you.

RIP Lady Rider. That bridge is horrific, always works going on making it a squeeze at times.

I avoid it at all costs. It's too narrow with no way to bail out of trouble.

RIP .. horrible bridge, basically you need to take a primary position, no alternative. The railing and huge curbs on both sides are scary, sadly yet again predictable.

So so sad. Love to their family and friends. Agree such a horrible bridge and needs to better prioritise cyclist safety.
