I would expect that there have been more cyclist deaths than that in an average month?

I would expect that there have been more cyclist deaths than that in an average month?

At current levels, there are on average 11 or 12 cyclist fatalites a month - the data above relates to London and one home county and is therefore (sadly) not representative of the country as a whole.

Accident today apparently.Cycled to work today but avoided Lower/Upper Thames street and Southwark Bridge due to the fact that the roadworks are atrocious and make the route hazardous for cyclists.(Also the road is full of potholes due to the same lorries bombarding the same every day)The roadworks begin just before Prescott Street Aldwych making a pinch point there.I have diverted via Bank for the last two days.I missed a motorcyclist work colleague apparently who had been assisting a pedestrian who had been hit by a lorry while he was walking on the pavement apparently.Apparently the lorry bounced up but apart from that,that's all I know.

I would be interested to see a list of all fatal "accidents" involving and when and how they occurred.

I think that they would make very powerful reading for the chaps and chapesses at the dft.
