<p class=MsoNormal>Hi ...<br>
<br>
Not sure there is a useful message in the following ... except perhaps that
drivers should ensure their doors are properly shut and owners that their
equipment is safe ...!<br>
<br>
Its hardly an "accident" ... especially given it was a rather narrow
street ...!<br>
<br>
In Brisbane it would be unlikely the CCTV footage would have been released ...
but then it seems it would also be unlikely the Lord Mayor would be cycling to
check out the roads.<br>

On Friday morning, while scouting possible locations for a bike path, London’s
mayor, Boris Johnson, narrowly avoided being killed when a passing truck
crashed into a parked car and knocked it across the road he was cycling on,
missing him by only a few feet.<br>
<br>
As a report in The Wharf, a newspaper that covers the London neighborhood of
Canary Wharf where Mr. Johnson and his small pack of cyclists were riding at
the time of the accident, noted: “The entire incident was captured on a private
security camera monitoring the Dunbar Wharf development on Narrow Street.” Here
is the security camera footage, which shows the accident, and Mr. Johnson
emerging from behind the truck about 30 seconds later, holding his helmet in
one hand as he inspects the damage:<br>
