Not London, but in Bristol this time. In an area where I have ridden and that is covered by a shared use path but from the scant details of the media reports I'm guessing this has happened where the SUP ends.

As you can see from Google maps the SUP on the left hand side stops at the traffic lights and you can cross the road but after that there is no safe route. Given the time of day I guess the cyclist was on his way out of Avonmouth.

I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

Awful - the 'cyclist killed by lorry' headline is becoming a genuinely frightening trend...........Raymondo

Excellent road layout, SUP ends just where there are bollards in the middle of the road creating a pinch point...Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0
