It's sad to hear about this - I came through the junction at around 9am this morning and will be going home via the accident route tonight :-(
Saw somewhere on this page someone saying 'Most of us ride safe' or words to that effect - well maybe in reference to users of this site - perhaps - BUT . . I see A LOT of riders blatantly ignoring the rules of the road - going through red lights . . not giving way to pedestrians on crossings . . riding the wrong way down roads to take shortcuts !!! - They don't seem to think rules apply to them . . or don't give a shit about other road users/pedestrians. . . in my book - if you respect the road and it's rules you should be fine (with the one new addition - WATCH THE f*** OUT FOR OTHER CYCLISTS!!!!) - That seems to work for me - anyone else agree???
