Not everyone is so keen on cyclists who ride like prats.

I think we need to setup a facebook page.TruckersAgainstLondon.
A campaign to ban all HGV`s from the streets of London.
Who`s in??
Starve them out, or rather starve them inside the M25. send all their food down the Thames on a barge, if it arrives green and mouldy, so what, that is what they wanted 
put a wall round with checkpoints,let em organise the london airlift to get stuff in 
Boris will be prime minister one day, id put a pound on it. He is the tory goldenboy all the middle class ■■■■■■■ love him.

I agree with boris,ban all hgv’s from london,just drop all the crap around the m25 in distribution centres,but he can’t have it both ways,make it his job to get all the crap distibuted by horse and cart+1 I can’t stand London, it’s the biggest [zb] hole in the whole World, the people are arse holes, the drivers are impatient, the traffic is horrendous, there are restrictions everywhere, congestion cjarge this, red route that its a [zb] joke, the roads were not designed for 44t artics. I say we drop it all a Reading/Sittingbourne or some other surrounding area and let the arse holes get it to it’s destination themselves.
w
what will be do people in London ,where will be work.if we drop everythink in Reading and pick up.how many run must be do 7.5 tonne truck to collect load from some bakery to delivered to Reading??how many run must do to delivered to one Tesco supermarket??/to reduced congestion must change bus sistem,do bus more cheap .

Another reason to vote for independance then. 
These are the answer to the problem. Ban ALL lorries and vans from inside the M25 and replace them with one of these. Instant solution to unemployment and obesity crises. Only drawback is that a loaf of bread will cost about £50. Never mind there will be a statue to commemorate Boris in the most fitting location; Beckton Sewage Works.
Sick to the back teeth of hearing cyclists whinge about lorries in London. If the cyclists didn’t undertake, hang on to the back of vehicles for a tow and generally ride like they own the bloody roads then there wouldn’t be a problem.
I’m all for the banning of lorries from Londons roads, let the cyclists deliver the ■■■■ instead. About time the road haulage industry proved a point and gave Boris exactly what he wants, lets see how long it is before he’s calling us all militants for holding the “city” to ransom by refusing to travel on its streets.
■■■■■ the lot of them.
Aren’t buses technically LGV’s but taxed differently? so ban them two as said before london is hell to drive a lorry around so pleased if they did ban them.
Though what will happen is Lorry’s will get the ban then buses, then cars then cyclist’s won’t have any one to hit but them selfs and the buildings then they’ll have to be banned too
Problem solved then.
I tuned out when I got to the helmet bit. It should be optional. a) risk compensation by other road users (the blonde wig effect). b) Effect of compulsion in Australia (people give up cycling).
borris bell end has 3 choices if he wants to get london streets safe
-
ban lgv’s on the inside of the m25 (most drivers would love that from what is said here)
-
ban cyclists on the roads of london
-
hand out serious prosecutions to cyclists for
a) undertaking
b) running red lights
c) coming on the inside of vehicles which are turning left
d) overtaking at lights and junctions when the lights are changing
e) generally being a bell end.

borris bell end…
e) generally being a bell end.

Hang on,
Evening Standard:
Of the 14 fatalities last year, five involved HGVs that would not meet the new standard.
So 65% of accidents involved trucks equipped with “safety devices”.
So the new super duper cyclist saving stuff doesn’t actually save cyclists then…
Hmmm
Just let them get on with it and van HGVs, then just sit back and relax and watch all the chaos unfold.
I think they should ban lorry’s from central London, you’d have to be nuts to go there in an artic anyway.
