13 cyclists died in London in 2009. that 400 a year stat is nonsense

As bus drivers, we're not worried about the couriers, they know their game. Those we're more worried about is the female office workers on bikes and the odd hood rat who decide to bring his bike to central London once a year. They are the danger

I was driving a 388 double Decker bus and this accident happened about 3 or 4 minutes before i got to Carmomine street/ wormwood junction. saw flashing blue lights ahead of me. FIVE 'O and ambulances was just arriving as well. Looked on my right, there was Herry just behind the back wheel face down. ambulance chap run and turned him over and started performing CPR, copper shook his head and the look on their faces from a distance said it all. Had to drive off as i was holding traffic. RIP SIR

[kentcyclist]

WHY DID THE Logistics guy say several hundred London cycle couriers are killed each year ?. What a lieing dick head. That means the equivalent of all his staff are killed every 6 months. Stupid moron

@manmaas I agree, I ride a bicycle like I used to ride a moped. Ive seen my life flash before me a couple of times but not as many times as Ive seen others nearly get flattened while they're hugging the kerb and playing nice.

[ganiemen]

Henry RiP, i didnt know him personally, but i have seen him many times on the road. What a terrible waste

[cemenikes]

I was there at Bishopsgate, watching the police and seeing the hearse. It was horrible. RIP Henry. C x

I blame Boris Johnson for doing absolutely nothing to keep cyclist safe in the London.

I cycle 2 times a day 5 days a week and it is hell out there. Really dangerous. You take your life in your hands.

[manmaas]

R.I.P. Henry - I'd disagree with the guy's comment regarding defensive cycling, I've always felt an aggressive attitude has kept me safe over the years.

@dwjp

He was probably quoting total cyclist deaths. But the fact that the very experienced Henry got wiped out tells you how common it is.

[invade81]

@dwjp yeah - I was shocked when he said 400. I guess 13 doesn't sound as good for TV.

[invade81]

RIP Henry Warwick.

See you guys on Friday. 

[wehavevisiondottv]

Saw Henry around loads. An absolutely tragic waste. My condolences.
