Blood on the streets

Yeah, using that definition pedestrians must be dangerous cos of the number of cars that hit them.

45:55 is one of the worst, but on nearly every single cycle motor vehicles jump the lights. Why aren't they included?

52:05 is the worst I saw from a quick look.

47:05, a motorbike, van and two cars jump the red light.

Brilliant. Is there an edited version somewhere that just focuses on the cyclists? Because there is just contsant infringements from all the road users that I can see.

He sounded like the cunt, the guy on the radio. The kind of taxi drivers who offer yound women a free journey in return for hand relief and locks them in if they don't oblige.

Or perhaps I have an over-active imagination. But all this myopic, bias media reporting and political point-scoring at the cyclist's expense is really getting me annoyed.

Of course there is and where do you think you will find it?

Publishing this load of old bum gravy, made- up by the LTDA and based on spurious figures, twisted data and bare-faced lies on the same day Lewis Collins dies is very unprofessional.

Hope the LTDA have bullet-proof shoes. All the video proves is the obvious fact that there are violators, regardless of mode of transport. He who is without sin, shouldn't live in glass houses etc.

Can someone do the same count for cabbies please?

This is interesting, the same Andy Jones posted this:

Rickshaw Crash Test - YouTube

That's to show how dangerous rickshaws are by showing a taxi smashing into them at high speed, which is missing the point by a country mile!

Hang on. My teacup must be dangerously unsafe for hot liquids because it melts when I pour molten magma into it... WAC

That video! pretty much every red light a motor vehicle either enters the ASL after the red or goes clean through.

Also there is a lot of fucking hopeless trackstanding by the cyclists - for shame Hackney.

Response to LTDA: Analysis of signal compliance, by mode

Jimmy, the full length footage is interesting:

Hackney 1hr low res - YouTube

Untold RLJing by motorists, rampant ASL abuse.

That's the junction of Queensbridge Rd and Hackney Rd. Because only very rarely does anything ever come out of the left hand side of the junction, cyclists going straight on very often do jump the light. If you were cherry-picking the junction where you'd see the most red-light jumping, that'd be the one. It's not representative of what people would do on a dangerous junction by any stretch of the imagination.

Put a camera on Bloomsbury Way/Museum street for an hour and I guarantee you that 97% of the vehicles will make an illegal right hand turn.

^^ this

So heavily doctored, selective data from an increidbly narrow emprical source cherry picked as a 'soft' red light, i.e. one where you can filter in on the left to traffic coming from the right, one of the types of traffic lights that have been mooted as a possible special allowance for cycles (anecdotally), a video that shows a huge number of traffic violations by all road users, yet the idiots at the LTDA get a platform to spout their bigoted views about cyclists on the back of it?

I repeat, they used that data as a reason for Boris to shelve the £billion+ planned spending on the road infrastructure to make the roads safer for cyclists.

Oh the the cunt even said 'I all for cycling, I ride a bike everyday'. That's rapidly becoming the new 'I have a lot of black friends but' before launching into some racist diatribe.

The lies are winding me up.

Response to LTDA: Analysis of signal compliance, by mode

It would be good if someone better focus than I complete this analysis. Sample is too small at the mo.

Agreed: this needs to be totally debunked. I'd have a crack but my computer is up the spout so I'd have to do it offa my phone. That said I'd be happy to try.

Road.cc already reviewed the full hour's footage and their findings are worth reading.

At 9AM this morning, one hour phone in on 5 Live - How Do We Make Cycling Safer.

I can't listen, just getting on the bike and off to work.

Cheers
Listening to it now

Listened to about 15 minutes of it (as I was late for work), it took about that long to mention RLJing and headphones, which was a relief at least. No rabid anti-cyclists, decent level of debate, apart from the Geordie who seemed to think that mass cycling in the UK was crazy because of the hills, nothing else.

good news from Australia - still a scary place to cycle in comparison to London though.

'kinell!

Why are so many cyclists being killed by HGVs / Buses? - YouTube

A little bit of riding in primary might have helped in pretty much all of those situations.

Thefireuk might want to consider cycle training.

He's not victim blaming.

He's pointing out that those incident are avoidable rather, if they're hooted at, or being intimidated, the best scenario is to either acknowledge them and carry on riding, or pull over and let them pass (as per the Highway Code).

Nice try on trying to troll TW2 thought.
