This area of the forum is not the place to argue about road safety or lack of.
It should be kept respectful. Please keep it that way.

Poor woman.

About to leave the office and my route home takes me right through where it happened. The road is open and traffic returning to normal again now but not relishing riding through there, really.

Some of those roundabouts on to bridges in town are very hairy - the other side of Lambeth bridge is a bit of a 'mare IMO, so much so that having used it to get to work when I first started commuting, I've now found a way not to negotiate it.

Poor woman and her family though, awful. Really spooks me to see the damaged bike.
