Condolences to all his friends and family.

There seems to be a run of these accidents recently, so keep safe FH cyclists.

My thoughts are with the bereaved family and friends.

We need to recognise that London's roads are simply not up to scratch for the volumes of cars, lorries, buses, bikes and pedestrians that they handle. Better infrastructure is clearly required.

Until then, we should all remember that whether behind the wheel of a vehicle, on a bike or on foot, we are all people trying to get from A to B safely and not different tribes who need to be in conflict with one another.

Be safe everyone.
