Default Queen's doctor Peter Fisher,67, dies in cycling collision in London

This was yesterday
Some parts of Central London

A Sad Loss.


[Tributes have been paid to Dr Peter Fisher, one of the Queen's doctors, who has died after being struck by a lorry while cycling in central London.]

I wonder if it was a turning left blindspot death?

Bikes go up the inside and the lorry cant see them and crushes them when turning left

Bicycle deaths here are an issue too. We have a pretty big community of recreational bikers. That is the nice thing about having bayous all over is that they've started plotting trails and bicycle paths along all of them across the city... someone started a memorial project after so many deaths went unnoticed... so across the city, there are old bikes painted white and chained where the person had been hit.. my uncle has ran a bike shop for years, so he and family do a lot in that community...
