Yup. The width of the road is about a bus width plus one inch.

Brewer Street, old Compton and 7 Dials - all just ridiculous. Imagine if cyclists got road rage in the same as motorists. There'd be rivers of blood in Soho.

ah yeah, I appreciate that the buses, when they're there, take up the entire width of the road bit - it's the cyclists who purposefully plough up the cycle lane for no good reason when there are no buses there, they could just get on the road bit and be fine! perhaps they think they're doing the Right Thing

Tell me about it. I've not had a long job in Soho in a while though, luckily.

To be fair, it's a terribly signed, terribly marked bike path. Most peds barely realise it's there until an irate bell gets dinged at them. Mind you a lot of the peds on Rye Lane don't even know they're there.

Speaking of Peckham a woman has just been crushed by a truck crossing the road. Peckham High Street closed in all directions near Rye Lane. RIP.

Witnessed an incident between a car and a cyclist about ten days ago. Driver stopped; cyclist didn't seem too badly hurt. I stuck around until the police arrived, gave my name and address to the officers as a witness, then cycled home and thought no more about it.
Yesterday, a 12-page form arrived through the post, so that I could supply a more detailed witness statement. The last page of the form asks you to . . . draw your own collision! (Actually someone else's collision in this case. They even ask you to sign your artwork. I obliged. Obviously.
But I did refrain from adding turd. Sorry everyone.

10/10 for public service
0/10 for humorous collisions involving turds

Dunno if you've sent it off but would your POV be useful?

Driver drunk?

I strongly suspect the driver was on his phone (which is perhaps why the incident is still being investigated by the police). Driver just drifted straight into the cycle lane. Fortunately the whole thing happened at no more than 20mph.
@GoatandTricycle I've given more details about my positioning (directly behind the incident) in the rest of the report. Still suspect nothing will come of it.
The northbound road does get jammed for ages with the buses though.
