I agree, there are only so many mirrors a driver can look at, that's why we're pushing for sensors to be installed which alert the driver if a cyclist is coming up the inside.
If the addition of these sensors saves lives, then it's worth doing

I'm more inclined to think 'remove the danger, remove the problem.'
Also, I think one thing we haven't brought up is the fact that the person behind the wheel in a lorry is a professional driver. Cyclists aren't professionals so whilst they should ride safely, for that reason I do feel more responsibility lies with the lorry driver.

one of key points in this campaign is the horrific rate of fatalities when lorries are involved.
the responsibility lies with everyone, absolutely, but we could see a significant reduction in the number of accidents and fatalities if lorries were better equipped and drivers were better trained. And that's no small thing.

Interesting points, Neilp.

Our aim is to galvanise people into contacting their councils to get them to sign the pledge - to only use the best trained drivers and lorries with the best safety equipment.

If we’re successful, a large proportion of lorries on the roads will be safer, and not only when carrying out contracts with the council. I think the main point is, that many of these deaths can be avoided and in taking action, you can help to make our roads safer.

In terms of cyclists taking more responsibility, of course, riding safely is important, but as the exposed road user rather than the person riding high in a cab, we are vulnerable. The bicycle itself is not lethal, but a lorry can be.

London Cycling Campaign have released their new video today.
We're hoping to get all London Councils to pledge to use only the best trained drivers in lorries fitted with the best safety equipment and sensors. Seems like a no brainer, right?
Would be amazing if you'd click and share our video and back the campaign.

You can watch the video here

Thanks!

Hi all. I'm selling a barely used fixed 26 inch wheelset. Used about three times, rims sprayed black.
Velocity chukkas with system ex hubs, schwalbe marathon 1.75 tyres. £150

taken!

I have a DHB hardcase wheelie bike box which I don't need anymore. Its missing a wheel but seems a shame to chuck it as I'm sure it could be fixed.
Would anyone like it? Yours for free if you'll pick it up from Dalston.

Christ Almighty! Is no one allowed an opinion on here? I'm not saying I agree with anyone at all but surely a forum is a place for people to air their views and discuss, not get banned for saying things some people don't agree with? Whatever happened to freedom of speech? It's not like Redrum is advocating raping and killing, he's just saying he thought the idea sounded pants!

PM d you Mr Hoops

thanks!

Hey,
I'm after a 52 0r 53 cm track frame. Anyone selling?
BTW, i'm not up for a conversion

This RLJ debate is fucking tiresome and has been rinsed to death. Ed, some people just don't like waiting. I think that's pretty much what it boils down to. And why the fuck should they? It's their life, their journey and if they want to get to their destination quicker what's the problem? Not all RLJers endanger the lives of little children crossing pedestrian crossings. Not all RLJers are willing to die in the pursuit of making that "whoa brah that was rad" crossing. In fact I would say the vast majority of RLJers just can't be fucked with waiting around.

pretty much sums it up

@smallfurry - you can't tar everyone with the same brush just because you encountered one wanker cyclist
