Of course statistically it's HGVs and statistics is the only numerical measure we have. The problem being of course that just due to their size that even a small mistake can end in tragedy and the reaction of a large lorry is so much slower. I don't know if the statistics are corrected for the proportion of lorries on London roads compared to cars how the accident rates compare (not death rates just accident rates). This does not take away from the fact that lorries are the single biggest killer of cyclist on London roads.
