I "didn't can it" is right.

One question, how long will the god damn saddle soreness last?
You can hear if a bus or lorry is coming up behind you, you can here if the car behind you is slowing down (are they going to turn left into you?),
I personally think a cultural and legal shift is required in this country where it isn't just seen as understandable that you didn't see someone. I think proper prosecution of drivers who hit cyclists would do a lot more than a few segregated bike lanes.
How to solve it?
Could use technology and have little cameras fitted to show whats down the side of lorries, just like the ones that some cars have for reversing.
Or, even simpler, check the mirrors BEFORE starting to turn.
Well based on that clip, better mirrors for lorries? Can't be that hard to fit one.
Exactly. Or just adjust the lower one.
I believe that in Londinium for the construction trucks they are trying to get some sort of beeper/siren/"look out" alert fitted where it is set off every time a truck turns left.
Personally I think the sensible thing is to have a curfew time on large trucks (>7.5 tonnes).. And if that makes building in London too expensive - well other parts of the UK (plc) do exist...
