00:00 A junction in Tooting has been named London's most dangerous for cyclists in a recent report
00:05 by London's cycling campaign.
00:08 It said an intersect on Upper Tooting Road has seen the most cycling injuries in the
00:12 last five years in the capital.
00:15 In Tooting I'm new so I just saw only two within 15 days.
00:19 Within two weeks only two accidents.
00:21 Otherwise if I had it, people are used to it.
00:24 They say when an accident happens they say oh, it's normal for them.
00:27 For me it was something terrible.
00:30 I feel fine. I think, you know, it's not on a hill so you're going at a nice speed.
00:36 I mean obviously if it's busier times of day then I would say if you're not a strong cyclist
00:40 I wouldn't recommend it but I mean that's just, it depends how confident you feel on your bike really.
