****UPDATE LATER ON IN THIS THREAD****
Ok, so maybe not dangerous in the sense that people have been seriously hurt or injured riding here.
But, if we measure danger as the frequency of crashes, then this road has to be way up there.
In the last 12 months, I have thankfully seen very few crashes. However, on this section of Road in London I have witnessed 5 cyclists crashing and two motorcyclists…I have also had the closest thing to a fall on my own motorcycle.
Today, I met a new cyclist who suffered the 6th fall that I have witnessed on this road. His fall sent him flying to the kerb (at 20-25MPH) hitting the side of his head on the angle of the kerbstone resulting in a huge dent in his lid…(helmet naysayers behold!)… damage to the bike was minimal (although real,) tights were shredded and pride was intact. It could have been a really nasty fall that could also have ended in a hospitalised rider…or worse.
So, can you see the reason why this dull section of road is a potential Killer?
