This is the hair-raising moment cyclists mount the pavement and nearly 'mow down' a blind man and a woman in a wheelchair waiting a 'floating' London bus stop
Sadiq Khan's 'cycling tsar' punched in the face by cyclist after he confronted them for not stopping at zebra crossing
NFBUK chief Andrew Hodgson is the blind man at the start of the video. He only became aware of the near-collision with the cyclists when a colleague told him what had happened afterwards. The Highway Code says that cyclists should give way to pedestrians on shared use cycle tracks," adding that they "should always take care when passing pedestrians, especially children, older or disabled people, and allow them plenty of room."It adds that cyclists should "always be prepared to slow down and stop if necessary".
But the floating stops have been criticised by disability campaigners, who claim that many disabled and blind people they act as a hindrance to getting on buses.An independent review is expected this year, and mayor Sadiq Khan, who has refused to pause the roll-out in the mean time, has said he is looking forward to reading it.
