Killed Cyclists in London - new map and spreadstheet

[StuartG]

I am very surprised that there is nothing around the Stratford gyratory.

The most dangerous places may not be where the accidents happen because:
1) Cyclists avoid them if possible (particularly the inexperienced)
2) The remaining (experienced?) cyclists tackle them very, very carefully

Its the places that look and feel safe but aren't that are the real danger.
You should also take into account that because of the small sample number the deaths will not be proportional to the risk at a particular place or time.

Someone suggested previously that female cyclists may be more apprehensive at junctions, making them more vulnerable.

It may not be far fetched to suggest that the average body frame of women may play a role. The average male frame may just make men more visible to drivers.

Why? There's not that much difference in size, plus the gender (and preferences) of the motorists might be a factor also.
