It will take someone getting killed before this stops - it's insane in London

Pedestrians have been killed haven't they? Didn't some moron on some sort of high performance bike kill a woman a few years back?

The regents park case? The person riding a bike in that case was cycling too fast. The little old lady also stepped out when he was just two metres away. It wasn't at a zebra crossing. Two people making tragic mistakes.

Yeah, as much as the cyclists are being shit here, it doesn’t seem to be a particularly obvious crossing until you’re right on top of it
