On my commute to work today (06:50), Wandsworth Bridge Road was closed to vehicles due to a cyclist being struck by a small lorry.
I walked right past the scene where numerous fire fighters and paramedics were attending to the victim, still under the vehicle. Not nice at all.
Another cyclist was killed a few months back about 20m from todays accident.
The cycle lane on this road is a joke. I is a two-way 1m wide strip that adjoins the pavement.
I don't know how many times I've nearly been knocked off by phone-zombie pedestrians not paying attention and walking in the cycle lane.
I have had to drop down the kerb and into the road before to avoid said idiots. It's a good 8" kerb too, and I fear this is what happened today, but the cyclist dismounted the kerb into the path of the lorry
Something needs to be done ASAP.
