Yup

that said, I don't think it's true that all the riders killed by tipper trucks here in TL were undertaking them.

And, some junctions (including Bank, where 6 busy roads meet) are designed so that it's almost inevitable that cyclists will end up riding on the left of traffic (which is when things get so dangerous with those bloody trucks).

Just seems never-ending. And that nothing is being down to try and address it.

Also very striking that 6 of the 8 riders killed so far this year here have been women. Even though they make up way less than half the riders on the roads. Dunno if it's just a statistical anomaly, or they are more at risk somehow.

Horrible, anyway.
