    Very sad news indeed.

  2. Very.

    Six years cycling into college (86-92) along that same road and no
    deaths. Now two three in months...

    Have there been any more in recent years?

    regards,

    I used to cycle along there as a student in the late 80's and most of the
    time it was log jammed in both directions, so cyclists tended to filter
    between the rows of traffic, which is often pretty hazardous.

    Yep, that's a pretty accurate description of it I guess. Two in three
    months is very worrying, two seems to be more than a coincidence in such
    a short space of time, but who knows.

    It worries me particularly as I'd probably use the Queen's Gate/Cromwell
    Road junction next year if I was to cycle in (I've just paid a deposit
    on a flat down Wimbledon area). Imperial College Union and associated
    societies should be at the forefront of addressing any issues, so
    hopefully it'll get sorted if there is a problem.

    In the years ive been there its the first ive heard of Queens
    Gate/Cromwell Road being a particular problem. A fluke? I hope so.

    Then again, when I am there I primarily use the Exhibition Road exit to
    head Norf which seems better, Queens gate appears to be a bit of a rat
    run. IME. Exhibition has a lower density of parked cars and is not quite
    as wide, at least past the major exhibits.
