Man and woman taken to hospital after unoccupied van collides with two bicycles A man and a woman were taken to hospital yesterday after an Edinburgh city centre collision between an unoccupied van and two bicycles.

Found it..

"One eyewitness told the Evening News that the unoccupied van had no handbrake on and rolled into the path of the cyclists."

I read a different report that said the handbrake wasn't on/failed and the van rolled into them.
It is the only incident I've ever seen where the usual wording - a van collided with 2 cyclists - is actualy correct. Hope they recover fully.

Without trees/bollards/SUDS/parking spaces separting the bike lane from the road, experience tells me it will be used for parking/loading.

This reminds me of when I lived in York in the 80s. Every shop asked you to sign their petition opposing pedestrianisation. It went ahead anyway and business boomed as a direct result.

America, It's Just Like Riding a Bike
America, It's Just Like Riding a Bike YouTube video by The War on Cars

What would a TV ad promoting alternatives to driving look like? What if people who love cycling and progressive transportation reclaimed ideas like freedom, independence and even patriotism? We decided to give it a shot. Check out our new video, "America, It's Just Like Riding a Bike."

If you're using Sky Bridge it's worth telling it to keep checking when it stops - it seems to pause frequently. Mine eventually found over 700 users on BlueSky.

Cyclists’ hi-vis clothing invisible to some car brands’ automated emergency braking systems, shocking crash prevention study finds “It’s untenable that the clothes cyclists wear to be safe may make them harder for crash avoidance technology to recognise,” a road safety researcher said, after finding that a Honda model failed to s...

Things that make you more visible to drivers - hi-vis, movement of legs, feet & arms - make you LESS visible to cars' emergency braking systems.
Sounds like these systems are designed to avoid collisions with other vehicles, but not people.
