As a cyclist, I find it far safer to use the crossing there (wish there was one at Monkton roundabout too, as I currently avoid it like the plague!).
I never head out onto that roundabout and always use those lights Peter.
As for the Monkton one, I was hit there 3 years ago and still struggle to go near it even in a car and never again on a bike.
I got lucky that day but my bike didnt!!
I used to use it all the time, but I guess I’ve become less brave/more sensible in recent years!
That was unlucky of the cyclist! If he had waited until next Sunday the 29th, all vehicles will have to stay 1.5 meters clear when overtaking a cyclist! Don’t know how that is going work at traffic islands though, a Parkers Steel Lorry nearly got me little while ago, practically brushing my arm!
I look forward to testing that when out cycling! ; )
Too many cyclists being knocked off their bikes lately , a woman was killed in Broadstairs only last week.
I am a keen cyclist and always wear high viz stuff and never go out without my helmet on.
It’s amazing how many car drivers are using their phones still , not saying that was the cause but just saying.
