Jeremy Vine slams ‘garbage’ Telegraph article that claimed cycling injuries have surged since bike lane installed Newspaper criticises West London cycleway despite minimal casualty data being available cycling

The broadcaster Jeremy Vine has described as “garbage” an article published on Telegraph.co.uk which claimed there had been a “surge” at the number of injuries to on a protected cycle route in west London that he regularly uses to commute to and from central London.

The protected infrastructure – described by the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham – runs for around a mile along King Street, from its junction with Goldhawk Road at the boundary with Hounslow in the west, to Hammersmith Broadway in the East. That compares to one cyclist being seriously injured on the same stretch of road during the three years from 2019-21, and the news outlet also highlighted that during that same period, 10 cyclists had been slightly hurt in road traffic collisions, which it said was twice as high as the number in 2019, before the lane was built.
