Tooting Broadway collision Picture @Gracie_HTwitterCyclist in collision with lorry on cycle superhighway in South London
Police are appealing for witnesses after a collision involving a cyclist and a lorry on a cycle superhighway in Tooting Broadway in London.
The man in his late 40s, was treated for "a range of injuries" at the scene and taken to St George's Hospital in South London, where he is in a stable condition.
The collision happened yesterday afternoon in South London at the junction of Tooting High Street and the A217, a busy high street and part of Cycle Superhighway 7, which runs from Southwark to Colliers Wood.
A police spokesperson said: "Police were called to Tooting Broadway at 1515hrs on Monday, 15 June to reports of a lorry and cyclist in collision.
"The cyclist, a man in his late 40s, was taken to a south London hospital where he is in a stable condition.
Scary when it's on a regular route, just rode past the scene. Fingers crossed the cyclist is ok http://t.co/N2JqoM60PU

Just ignore whatever ban or signs and cycle through it. Nothing much they can or will do about it anyway.

That's 36 bikes on 18 Sheffield stands. And whilst the the cheaper shed looks impressive, there doesn't appear to be an easy way to lock up the frame.

We are told to ride alongside parked cars thinking that every door might fly open, and to ride accordingly. Why can't all lorry drivers drive as if every cyclist is a complete moron who might do something stupid and throw themselves under their wheels? If they did, driving defensively/cautiously, then these incidents wouldn't happen (or would be less likely). And if they plead 'blind spots' then the powers-that-be really need to do something about it.
Of course my comment was tongue-in-cheek. But statistically, I'm probably right.
How do you drive something the size of a lorry, at low speed, over the size of a 6ft x 3ft lump of meat and metal, and not expect to be implicated at the very least as partly at fault?
Also CEMEX will show a "safe" HGV at a SkyRide near you at teach you about the potential dangers of cycling around large vehicles.
