  • "The accident raises further concerns about the safety of cyclists on London roads. Lorry drivers were today being given free mirrors to help them see cyclists in their blindspots."

    What the fuck is this?

    Motorbike crashes, flies through air into cyclist and it's cycling that's dangerous? Idiofucks.

    News article on the TV the other morning regarding cycling accidents saying "many fatalities happen when cyclists collide with HGVs". It angered me that the emphasis there was on the cyclist and not the left-turning lorries, as if cyclists were bumbling about riding under the wheels of HGVs on purpose.

    I am glad that it seems that there are no fatalities from the accident today - I went past at about 8.45 and it didn't look good, it upset me a lot and considering what I saw I'm a little cyncical about the cosy-happy-everyone's-fine news reports but I do hope they're true.
