    Cyclist down prior to 5pm, police and ambulance in attendance. Bike looked in a bad way, couldn't see the cyclist, police interviews underway. I'd rather not speculate as to the cause, but the position of the vehicles in video certainly has me suspecting I know what happened.

    Not good. I saw the police when I went through the park and feared this was the reason.

    Hope all concerned are ok.

    That's right where the bus lane disappears for a bit to allow for a right-turn filter lane (we wouldn't want people to have to wait to turn, would we?), causing traffic in the inside lane to shift across to outside without requiring to indicate...

    @kaputnik, I don't know what happened here but I generally don't have problems. Going west it's always a shoulder check and maintain primary when the bus lane finishes, then indicate early for the left into Riversdale Crescent. Coming back the other way, I can shelter in the right hand turning lane when crossing. The only issues are with traffic coming down Murrayfield Road, they're supposed to stop but rarely do.
