Speeding cyclists are putting pedestrians and other road users at risk in Central London.
Just do a quick search on Google for “Strava”, the name of just one of several GPS based performance monitoring apps and then a road name.

For example, “Strava segment Millbank” (below) reveals a map, giving a start and finish point.

Comments are amusing.

I get aroused by people that comment on stories they haven't bothered to read.

London is full of people who know how Britain ought to be run.

They're called taxi drivers.

Twitter has loads of cabbies posting death threats towards cyclists. Those who shun cshs are fair game, they say.

Doubtless cabbies are all united in condemning this nasty little rat - http://road.cc/content/news/174249-london-cabbie-was-using-car-weapon-against-cyclist

At least the prosecutor is talking about assault not just ''dangerous driving.''
