This thread is making me worry about getting run over every time I get on my bike now, which means I'm enjoying it less.
And now there are pictures of people who have been in an accident? Is this a bit too far? Why would you take a photo of someone who's just been run over? I think this person died too.
Clearly the answer is stop reading it isn't it.
That is clearly not the answer, everybody needs to be aware of what can happen on the roads. I just ride my bike assuming every driver is an idiot (this is not true but I find when someone does not look, or turns without indicating you are prepared)
I didn't know Eilidh that well but she worked in the same building as me and I would see her most mornings walking her bike through the back doors past our workshop. I found out on the memorial ride she took a similar route to me too. Her death scared me into change. I have slowed down a lot on my commute and changed to much quieter roads (I now go through Hyde Park every day which has been amazing this summer) I have experienced far fewer incidents recently.

I love cycling in London
