The law has to be more severe in the case of those who drive dangerously around cyclists. For cyclists safety & for any chance of getting lots more folk out of cars and onto bikes. R.I.P. Helen. |

Or "there was a collision between a *vulnerable road user* and *killing machine*" like it's mutual. Unlikely. |

I rarely see a cyclist acting irresponsibly but see cars passing cyclist way too close too many times. |

I had some horrendous close passes when out on my bike today. It happens far too frequently. Totally tragic news  |

I had a rant about drivers on a blog the other week. Unfortunately it's an education issue. I don't think a lot of them do it deliberately, it's just ignorance of what space a cyclist needs and a general lack of awareness of things that are not cars. As someone said it needs change from bottom up but that's not a quick thing, if at all. |

If you've ever driven in France on country roads, the courtesy to cyclists is incredible. I was nervous running on the roads when on holiday but they were equally careful and cheerful going round me too. A different attitude. |

It needs to change in the UK - too many cyclist deaths. It's a tragedy. |

That's so sad to hear. I have many near misses on my bike. I even had a driving instructor pass me so close I could have touched the car. |
