I agree completely. But we were beyond that danger point and given in was left lane turning right I did a life saver to check for any bikes. My friends bother from the Met just died on his motorbike. That sharpens the mind.
Guys I'm both a cyclists and driver. I treat the road with Equal respect regardless. I would cut someone up (hard to believe, I have a BMW) and I won't jump a red on my bike.
I'm not being down on the guy out of spite, it's just being on one of the slowest moving vehicles on the road he put himself between a Luton van and an accelerating car. I would not that on any vehicle.
Having been a London rider for 15 years + you learn to ride to the conditions. Sometimes aggressively. Sometimes defensively. This guys just didn't know what he was doing.
And I'm sure it been said, but I hope everyone's personal liability insurance is paid up. A cyclist hit a senior lawyer at my wife's old law firm. Broke her pelvis. The PI team did a total wipeout him. He lost his house, car, everything. And how did he hit her? Jumping a red....
I leave it at that as my bike needs to be ridden rather than taunting me from its stands.
Opinions and perception are always right to those who hold them and you replies are equally as valid and welcome. It's nice to have a stimulating debate on such a subject.

Anyway. BMW now gone Harry Perry is here it's as its replacement
-
All under 10mph..
Powerful rear drive car,wet road and turning means the back will step out with the weight transfer to the front wheels under breaking, exacerbating the impact.
Helmet comment was a simple comment on a perceived lack of road sense. Rather using the marked out super highway we has in the middle of a busy junction.
And no I wouldn't have run him overhead be worn a helmet, but I would hold less contempt for him as smhe rode off from an accident

Who is this HarryPerry SE18! He must have exquisite taste!
-
Crossing the junction at lookers, turning right in left lane - was going to station. Boris either followed us through junction or jumped the red.
Anyway, post van was coming into my lane, I slowed , bike appeared, wet road. Back end hit first smashing the front end hard into the curb. All under 10 mph.

New steering rack, new suspension on the rear, 2 cracked alloys :(
I'm slowly learning the rules. This is nothing like the South East Lotus Owners club board. You guys are being nice, seloc send in air strikes!

Nice trade! I've just started a business. They let me use the shop as an occasional office!

Cheers!! Wood effect. Ian at Cycle PS Battersea built it up from a Herne Hill rental frame. It rides like a dream!
-
Cheers. Here seemed a better home. And given the frame I don't want to sully its history with poor filters used on faceache
