And so the carnage continues. A female cyclists was killed by a tipper lorry in Hackney earlier today:

Also disgusted by the Standard article on yesterday's death, mentions the fact that the cyclists wasn't wearing a helmet. As if that would have made the slightest difference FFS! :x

Jesus.....Another lorry, another cyclist! Two in 24 hours, 3 in a month or so.

If you feel the shadow of the Grim Tipper on your shoulder be worried, be very worried indeed. Killers of the road.Life is like a roll of toilet paper; long and useful, but always ends at the wrong moment. Anon.
Think how stupid the average person is.......

This is so fcuking depressing. They should ban HGV's betwwn 8am and 7pm. The one yesterday wasn't even supposed to on Weston St from what I understand, that was part of the Shard site agreement.

With all the construction work going on there is even more HGV/construction vehicles about.
Big ones, like the kind you see in the movies.Food Chain number = 4
A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game0 -

+1. This is terrible.
EDIT: alternatively, HGVs allowed but only outside rush hour periods, such as 10am-4pm or something. A bit like bikes not being allowed on trains during certain times!FCN 2-4.

Oh thats terrible...sorry to hear.
If lorries were banned during certain hrs would it mean even more lorries outside of that time..not everyone does 9-5
Also is there a facebook group campaign about cyclist-lorry accidents?0 -
There's a group, ''Cyclists THINK! Watch out for HGVs'' (http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=28903548493)
but it's not highly active.0
