BBC News - Cyclist dies in Bow Roundabout lorry collision
I drive a lot, about 20,000 miles a year and I see so many cyclists on the road being unsafe and risking their lives everyday.
I can't help thinking as I drive around that our roads are not safe for bikes. Motorists have to pass tests, have insurance and vehicle safety tests but anyone can jump on a bike and get on the road.
With the state of our roads with crumbling surfaces and crazy traffic calming schemes its sometimes not very safe in a car.
Mixing bikes and cars/trucks can not be safe and something needs to be done.
Lancashire Police are doing a cycling operation at the moment, I read a webchat on facebook the other day that proved that road users in general are unaware of the law and many dangers on the road.
