On a similar Policing theme; I don't know how much involvement LCC and others have with the police in terms of accident prevention but I sure the Roads Policing departments of the London forces may be interested in having an input.

The City of London Police, at least, are clearly aware of the problem of HGVs. It may be useful trying to contact Inspector Mountford and his Met counterpart.

Just a thought...

I really want people to be aware that Weds death was not caused by an HGV, but a 7.5 ton truck, driven on a normal car licence...

cant make it down tonite,worth mentioning inner dublin where all hgv trucks are banned

Wasn't an HGV, 7.5 tonner driven on a regular car licence, no additional training required.

I've just sent an email to Velocio saying I think Wednesday would be much better.

On Tuesday most lobbyists/campaigner types will still be at the Lib Dem party conference in Bournemouth (I'm running a fringe event on Tuesday night) and by Wednesday night we'd be back.

Wouldn't mention it but these are presumably the type of people whose skills could be useful for this sort of thing.

I can do Weds

thoughts go out to the rider and those who know her.

hope she's ok

Really freaked by this, this is a couple of hundred yards from me, I saw the aftermath of yesterdays death on the way to work and on Monday I gave 1st aid to a dying pedestrian on Oxford st.

I want it to be safer out there...

Please let them be ok.

Cant make this, want to be part of bringing change.

Can't be there on Tues at that time, would like to be involved, please post the conclusions/actions.
I have it in my mind that the total London cycle deaths this year are 11 of which 9 have been as the result of collision with lorries.
I want to be part of trying to change this.

I went past at 9am, police confirmed female, didn't confirm death at that stage, the bike was still under the truck, the helmet (seemingly undamaged) and bag (cut off) with medical detritus, syringes blood etc were still in evidence, form position of bike it looked to me as if she had been run over from behind, didn't look as if it could have been a cyclist to the left in blind spot incident.

RIP

Can we do something with roadpeace?

Having spent a fair while posting on and reading cycling and football messageboards I find this place relatively enlightened. The glossy photo shite is one thing; what I find infinitely more off-putting is the continual unthinking reiteration of the assumption that cycling is mainly for men, and that the posts are written for and by men. This is usually entirely innocently done; it's so entrenched as to not even need any malice aforethought. That we need special sparkly clothing, or special pink bikes, or that forum members should be 'getting their girlfriends into cycling', as if we were recalcitrant horses being trained to juggle.

"recalcitrant horses being trained to juggle" I laughed out loud explosively, is it yours? I can't wait for that golden feed that will allow me to slip it into a convo...
Thank you.

Well Done Teenslain et al, what a gorgeous day...

Has anyone been to Goodtimes on curtain Road yet? Tried calling and emailing but no response. Be interested to know Nikole's waiting times.

I've been to Goodtimes, Have you used 02077392438 ?
Nikoles waiting times are a year to eighteen months if it's something she wants to do, there's Danny, Jamie, Saira too...

It's on!

Em, 7 already? It must be time to get up...
The very best to a really special guy, hope to see you soon.
