Interesting that the cycling apologists immediately start putting a spin on this incident without any knowledge of the facts. Yet if this was a vehicle colliding with a cyclist there would be finger pointing and blame being heaped on the vehicle driver from the outset.

Clearly the pedestrian here was injured seriously enough for the police to not only be involved but to make an appeal for information (and if you know how the Met operates you will know vigorous investigation isn’t its usual practice). If the victim was hurt then the cyclist will have seen that, even with a cursory inquiry.

To say that it’s the fault of the pedestrian perhaps getting off a bus and crossing the road ‘immediately’ is patent nonsense. Pure guesswork and the usual victim blaming all too often apparent in these situations. If there’s a problem with the cycle lane and the bus stops then perhaps TfL has got its designs wrong and this isn’t the place for cycling infrastructure. As we know cyclists dislike stoping, even at red lights or pedestrian crossings, and if cycling numbers increase then we will inevitably see more incidents of this type.
