Of course they did, there's *no way* cyclists would ever use someone's death
to make a political point.

"The tributes came as thousands of cyclists took to the streets in protest
at the capital's cycling conditions."

Oh, my bad. Grieving, my arse.

Causing traffic mayhem in the process. A great way to earn synpathy.


Oh, my bad. Grieving, my arse.

Perhaps it's time for measures to be taken to prevent this in future.
Perhaps these lorries could carry large scale photos of mangled cyclists
along their nearside, along similar lines of showing diseased lungs on
cigarette packets?

Yes, but we're all too aware how faulty your assumptions always turn out to
be.

Would you not expect the family of a cyclist to know him personally.
It would be unusual if they did not.

Yet again it is a tipper truck that kills. Other large vehicles seem to be able to drive safely.
