Show Notes

Cyclists who kill pedestrians by dangerous cycling could now face life imprisonment in England and Wales under proposed changes to the law which are currently going through Parliament. 

 

The London Standard’s Melanie McDonagh, who has herself been knocked down by a cyclist in the city, is here to tell us how the law has been amended and whether she thinks there’s still more to be done when it comes to road safety for both pedestrians and cyclists. 

 

And in part two, as the London Marathon turns 45 this weekend, it hopes to celebrate by breaking a new world record. The London Standard’s sport writer, Malik Ouzia, is here to tell us how it could happen.
