• Why are trucks still using these major commute routes? Why are trucks allowed in the city at all during peak hours? FFS!

    RIP

    And again this.

    RIP rider, and condolences to their family and friends.

  • They bloody well have to do something. Regardless of who's at fault, these HGV have no place in congested, mixed vehicle traffic - especially at peak hour.

    Strangely, just last week I actually chased down a HGV from that intersection to congratulate him on his patient and considerate driving and actively avoiding any incidents. His response was that he hates driving through there and wished he didn't have to, at least he's aware though. This is a very multi faceted problem.

  • Rest In Peace, rider.
    My thoughts are with you, your loved ones, friends and colleagues.

  • RIP. A route I regularly cycle to get into the city from work.

  • Shit. Another. I'm so...just... :(
    RIP. Thoughts are with their friends and family.

  • Three black logos in such a short period of time. This just isn't right. I weep for the loss of another life.

  • Just been over to Holborn to collect a saddle form lacomus - this incident was virtually in front of his office. Terrible, terrible thing to happen. RIP.
