Do cyclist get hit and killed daily in the UK, or is this another unique American problem? I’m terrified to ride here.
Comment on Google Maps partners with TfL to prioritize safer cycling routes in London

Not killed daily but they do get hit and injured a lot. Deaths are on a downward trend.

I just wish outer boroughs would take it more seriously. I have a lot of bike lanes in my zone 5 borough, but they start out of nowhere, go for a short while and then end suddenly. So on paper we have loads of cycling infrastructure here, but in practice it’s useless and it’s better and safer to just ride on the road in traffic.
