A campaigner for safer cycling, Croydon Cyclist, puts the case for improving the safety of Pimlico Cyclists.

He uses Vauxhall Bridge daily to get to and from work, and says that traveling on it north bound is perfectly fine, but that taking the Bridge south bound is a totally different story. The cycle lane runs the full length of the bridge and is very narrow for the full duration.  There is a bus lane that runs the full length of the bridge but due to the buses needing to enter the bus station inside the gyratory, its position is on the right hand side, and due to its position and the lack of cleaning, it’s full of stones and pot holes. Many of the cycle lanes in Pimlico are of poor quality, and on the 22nd of May 2010, a cyclist was killed by a HGV whilst cycling in near one of these cycle lanes just north of Vauxhall Bridge.
