The only wonder, really, about the awful death of a pedestrian, knocked down in February ago by an e-cyclist, and who died last month, is that there aren’t more tragedies of a similar kind.
In this case, the poor man who was killed actually seems to have walked in front of the cyclist after crossing the road in front of a bus – and it’s difficult to see round a bus. That’s part of the daily hazard of being a road user on foot in London. But the real problem is on the crossings where pedestrians are meant to cross the road, and which cyclists all too often don’t respect.
