West London Coroner’s Court heard on Monday, April 20 that Henry was riding along the cycle path on the A316 towards Richmond Circus and cycled across the give way lines of the cycle path at the junction with St John’s Grove. The driver of a dustcart did not give way as it turned into St John’s Grove and Mr Lang was run over by the rear wheels of the vehicle.

Wrong section, Its almost a year ago since the incident.

And that doesn't change the outcome either.

I've used that cycle lane to get into London a few times and it has loads of turn offs from the A316 . Its a bit of a pain stopping and starting all the time and almost tempting to join the duel carriage way but not that tempting .
Its a fast road and I wouldn't be crossing the side roads without checking first .
