I'd guess not. Motorists kill cyclists everyday though. Stick to the facts not to the stereotypes.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08205378822164679021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3242221516885796514.post-50244083018138830012013-07-05T12:53:11.059-07:002013-07-05T12:53:11.059-07:00I hate to say this, but I have more of an issue wi...I hate to say this, but I have more of an issue with the generally appalling road behaviour of other cyclists than I do with car drivers. As a cyclist, I feel far safer sharing the road with car drivers than I do sharing bike lanes or roads with other cyclists.Tessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15647695597737641624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3242221516885796514.post-31044302961296043562013-06-28T06:45:01.300-07:002013-06-28T06:45:01.300-07:00@TheRantyHighwayman

There are often traffic jams on this road with traffic coming up from Birdcage Walk, Westminster will not allow on-street cycle parking near the ICE HQ (so users are forced to put them round the back, but why would you want to cycle here anyway during the week.<br /><br />Government buildings are easy to spot as they are surrounded by security bollards which not only sit in the middle of pedestrian crossings, they block the view of pedestrians from traffic and present a wonderful opportunity for cyclists and motorcyclists to crash into them.<br /><br />Westminster is a pro-car as they come, but being right in the middle of the largest city in the UK it is a dose of double-insanity.The Ranty Highwaymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361350433158148025noreply@blogger.com
