Last week, one Glasgow cyclist told the story of how he had been left"terrified" and with a torn kidney after a bike lane crash caused by a courier riding the wrong way at around 15mph. "A simple thing would be are companies actually checking the bikes that the riders are using to make sure that they are legal?" he said."If the riders are given effective training around cycling safety, if their bikes are checked to make sure that their bikes are legal and road worthy and if they're given effective training and support and the right safety equipment then I'm sure that would make a difference.
Deliveroo said all its couriers undergo a programme of road safety guidance and are"offered equipment to ensure they are visible to all road users". Just Eat said"appropriate action" would be taken if a courier was not meeting the company's standards, while Uber Eats said riders are expected to follow all laws and regulations.We’ve noticed you’re using an ad blocker.
