“Agreed I cycle from stoke to Stafford most mornings, I avoid the a34 but there are no safe roads to choose from to get from stone to Stafford. I know of at least two cyclists who have died on the exact stretch of road where that collision occurred this morning. There's plenty of room on the a34 for a safe cycle lane. This sort of tragedy can be avoided, my heart goes out to my fellow cyclist and their family.”
