| Description | Boris Johnson and his transport adviser were involved in a near miss while cycling in east London yesterday after a truck nearly dragged a car into the path of their bikes.
The mayor of London, a keen cycling enthusiast, was on one of his regular scouting expeditions around London looking for flagship cycle routes with his team when a lorry's backdoor swung open and hooked into a parked car, according to Johnson's spokesman.
Just minutes earlier, transport minister Lord Andrew Adonis was among those cycling with the mayor as they toured to see where best to place cycle Super Highways", which are designated to make it easier and safer for cyclists to get around the capital.
The car was dragged along the street and was "catapulted" right in the middle of the cycling party, just behind Johnson. |
