Usual easy-paced ride on mostly quiet roads and paths. Clockwise loop outwards via Horniman Museum and Sydenham Wells Park. Circuit of Crystal Palace Park, including the Dinosaurs. These 2 parts of the ride a bit hilly, but total distance is less than usual, so can take the steeper sections slowly. Then long downhill run back via Bel Air Park. Route at https://goo.gl/z4Wft7
Our review found that just 4 collisions took place at bus-stops between cyclists and pedestrians from 2020-22 - none on the crossing.
For context, over 11,400 pedestrians and 15,000 cyclists were injured in collisions with motor vehicles in the same period.
I have no problems with a law on death by dangerous cycling – everyone must obey the rules of the road.
But in 2022, 1760+ people were killed on UK roads – 3 involved someone being hit by a bike.
What’s the gov plan for stopping 5 people being killed a day by motor vehicles?
Support for active travel ... more trees / green space; more accessible pavements; less traffic; better lighting; traffic calming; segregated cycling; cycle hangars and pedestrian crossings.
