The multiple junctions and intersections along this bit of cycle lane make it a complete nightmare! It's a lethal mix of cyclists, Boris bikes, students, vehicles, bins parked across the lane, bin lorries, parked delivery trucks. Oh and major road works.
I had a crash with a white van on Halloween when he did an illegal right over the lane. He didn't realise he had to look both ways and then both ways again as the cycle lane is paralell to the road. "Poor fella".
But - this morning's crash was on a stretch with no intersections, and has curbs to prevent vehicles cutting across.
Perhaps a car actually mounted the kerb to make sure they didn't miss the cyclist?
