Its a damn disgrace how cyclists are treated!

"More on the Kings Cross scandal

Today we bring you the latest on the scandal relating to Transport for
London’s culpability at the lethal junction at Kings Cross; and we
also bring you a story of everyday faux-East London folk (ie, Bumbling
Boris and his merry men). And please remember: we’ll be back at Kings
Cross on Monday (12 March) from 6.30 to 7.30pm. Will you be there?

TfL’s INJURY TOLL

Following the revelations a few days ago that, for years, Transport
for London (TfL) told its road engineers to ignore cyclists when
planning junction changes at Kings Cross (see
kingscrossenvironment.com/2012/03/05/buchananreport), we now know that
this was despite dozens of cyclists being injured there during this
period.

The work undertaken by traffic engineers Buchanan and Partners, when
TfL told them to ignore cyclists, covered the period 2005-2009.
Research by Levenes Solicitors, who specialise in cycling safety, has
looked at the part of the Kings Cross road system where Bikes Alive
holds its go-slows (a total road length of less than half a mile), and
has found 25 occasions from 2005 to 2010 when cyclists were injured
seriously enough to show up in official statistics. (See

injuries.html.)
