One fatality!
Crikey. This cycle lane really is the Lane of Death.
Last week there was a Camden Council bike awareness event a bit further along (outside the church next to Gordon Sq). I mentioned to the nice ladies that teh lane was dangerous and they seemed really surprised. A couple of cycle coppers, who were standing nearby, agreed - as they frequently cycle along them.
Wonder if LCC has lobbied for their improvement or, better still, removal?
I have just put in an FOI request to Camden Council to ask for accident statistics on this stretch of road - before and after the cycle lane was installed. I'll post 'em on LFGSS as soon as I have them!
Won't it be blinkin' hilarious if the accidents have increased since they put in the lane...
