Stay clear of lorries

+1

This just highlights how bloody lucky I was. Just had a shiver go right through my spine thinking about things.

it scary how many people disregard the lorry, yesterday while heading up to Clapham, there was a lorry in front of me that I'm not going to overtake and already 5 commuter behind me decided it's worth going through the inside line of the lorry.

With this many fatalities isn't it raising questions within the authorities, make the roads safer for cyclists or maybe impose more severe punishments upon those that cause said accidents.

Condolences for both friends and families of the riders involved.

Fucking hell. Lower Thames Street is a horrible horrible road. Especially in that tunnel bit

No No No! The city is eating people today! And it started off so well! Be careful peeps. It's a tragic loss for those concearned. :(

From the link above 'Spoke to an officer at the west side of Blackfriars tunnel. Said the cyclist went between two lorries.'

Who in their right mind would do something like that?

Are we going to have to resort to using these??

Bleak. My thoughts to all affected.

Yeah I spoke to the same police dude. I go down there everyday and you see a lot of people doing this - absolute madness.

HGV, wide berth FFS !
Sobering news. Ride safe.

High street ken was closed off down one side this morning....

A dump truck was stopped halfway through a left turn on the T junction just before the supermarket... there was a crumpled bike, alot of police, police tape etc...

I asked one of the fed's if the rider was ok, he said they should be ok, they were on their way to hospital...

Oh Man !
Horrible news...
thoughts go out to all those involved

Really really chilling today, I cycled past this incident on my way to work. Did not stop, the scene was horribly quiet loads of police.
