    Chapeaux Boris,

    Even on my ride home last night it was apparent how motorists just arn't even thinking of looking for cyclists. RIP

    WTF has it to do with Boris?

    did he drive the vehicle involved or ride the bike?
    Did he cause the accident?

    Should he have banned all motor traffic from London's roads? or perhaps he should have banned all cyclists instead
    or built segregated bike lanes on every road in London.

    Did Boris force people to ride/ drive?

    If Boris supposed to be in every vehicle pointing out every cyclist to people?

    The cause of this accident is not known and you are trying to make pathetic political capital out of a tragic loss.

    Is their no depths you wont sink to inorder to make politcal point scoring

    RIP the cyclist, lets not sully the memory with political point scoring when the cause of this accident isn't even known yet
    Want to know the Spen666 behind the posts?

    Got to agree with spen - what has boris to do with this?

    If you have a link that shows that the cyclist was killed on a notorious hotspot that campaigners have done nothing but whinge about and he's specifically told them they're full of crap then please post it...
