Around 3.30pm this afternnon a 20 year old girl was hit by a lorry and killed on Camden road in London, I came through there only about half an hour earlier.
The lorry driver has been arrested.

Oh dear. I was cycling across there at 7:45 tonight and it will still shut then. I didn't know why though.

What is it with women cyclists and lorries?

On my ride in this morning I noticed most female cyclists seem to be most oblivious to large vehicles around them and worst of all seem to prefer to cycle with ipods on too.

Anyone got a link for this? Tragic story and there is a clear and worrying correlation between the sexes and cyclists killed in London.

I like to stay off the roads and retreat to the hills; as a driver, I've seen to many lapses of concentration where 'if' a cyclist was present; would be no more.

Tragic story, thoughts to the family.
