Sean Barker Posted November 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 I guess it's being a parent of a child that lives and works in London and commutes by bicycle. Whenever I read anything like this it just sends a shiver down my spine. Also any time I have had to cycle across London I'm always happy to leave it behind me.

DaveM Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Think ourselves lucky we don't live in London. It is a war between motorists and cyclist. You only have to read some of the social media comments regarding the recent cycling deaths to realise the level of bitterness people have. Sadly there a lot of bike riders in London that do us all a disservice by blatentley breaking the law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveM Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Hard to believe there has been another death. Something has got to be done. Worst thing about this, apart from the appalling loss of life, is that it is whipping the anger of motorists. It's all self inflicted as far as they are concerned and we should be banned from the roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
