Quite amusing comments on road.cc
City of London Police does acknowledge that often, it is the behaviour of other road users that puts cyclists at risk, and has listed nine points for riders to be aware of to “keep your nine cycling lives.”
Those are:
1 – Black cabs swerving to the kerb to pick up/drop off passengers
2 – Pedestrians stepping out into the road without looking (and most of us do it on occasion)
3 – Passengers hopping off or on Routemaster buses without looking
4 – Vehicles turning left across you – even more serious if it is a bus or truck
5 – Car doors being opened into your path
6 – Vehicle creepage at junctions
7 – Delivery vehicles parked in cycle lanes
8 – Drivers failing to indicate properly leaving everyone guessing
9 – Vehicles doing impromptu U-turns.
