News of yet another cycling death caused by construction traffic in London.

Lorries make up just five per cent of traffic but account for about half of all cyclist deaths, with many riders crushed on the inside of trucks as they turn left.

Plenty of work still to do in cities to protect cyclists. I am perpetually baffled by the lack of cycling initiatives. Is it really that difficult to see that more cyclists and less autos improve urban life?

A very happy day.
A very lonely night.
Trying to find a way.
In need of shining light.

This is a topic I’ve spoken about a lot over the last year. The word thanks is approaching irrelevance for me. In most cases it’s a must-follow-social-convention-and-cover-my-arse statement.

My giving thanks motto: Don’t just say it, do it

It doesn’t have to be a grand deed, or even time sensitive, just something you invest personal time in.
