[SIZE=3]RIP poor cyclist. My condolences to all who knew him. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]This is what I sent to TfL last week..[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3] I was very gratified to view tonight's vital report on the London Regional News about the most recent cycling fatality. I sincerely hope it will dissuade innocent cyclists from putting their lives at risk on London roads.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]This is just to say I will support any move to prosecute TfL for corporate maslaughter. The marketing of the cycle hire scheme and cycle superhighways should never have proceeded without a ban on HGVs in the rush hour. There would have been another fatality at London Bridge today but for the guerilla tactics of the woman involved. This vehicle should never have been at London Bridge in the rush hour! [/SIZE]
[SIZE=3] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]I do not require a reply as I am in full possession of the facts. I have watched this situation escalate into the nightmare we have now and it must stop. After cycling many thousands of miles in London I have all but given up. The times I have come closest to death have all been in the last 18 months and all with HGVs in good visibility on straight roads nowhere near junctions. There has to be some accountability.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]I sincerely hope to see someone from TfL in the dock next time a cyclist is mown down, particularly if it occurs at Blackfriars, Vauxhall, Kings Cross or Elephant and Castle.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]I hope everyone will make their feelings known.. Might make someone feel a little bit uncomfortable. Maybe.[/SIZE]
