Guardian Focus podcast: are Britain's roads safe for cyclists?

Earlier this month, 22-year-old cyclist Ellie Carey was killed in a collision with an HGV near Tower Bridge in central London. It brought the total number of fatalities in the capital up to 16 this year, the highest for five years. The number of cyclist deaths across the UK also increased in 2009 and 2010.

We've heard fine words from the government about the environmental and health benefits of cycling. But is enough being done to make the roads safe for those on a bike?

Hugh Muir speaks to experts from Sustran and the London Cycling Campaign; the families of cyclists killed by lorries; and Guardian bike bloggers Peter Walker and James Randerson. Hugh also tackles the notorious Kings Cross gyratory system on his bicycle.

 

Following note from Learning Quran online Blog

 

Learn holy Quran online which it self states in it that only those who are learn quran and pure should touch the holy text: This is indeed a Quran in Arabic in a book well-guarded, which none shall touch but those who are clean (56:77-79).  One should make formal ablutions before handling or Quran reading and this the quran tutor should tell in his quran teaching when quran for kids lessons are going on. After intercourse or menstrual bleeding one should not touch the holy Quran or do quran recitation and also not do quran memorization until after bathing non-Muslim should not handle the sacred text, but may listen to Quran online or read quran translation or exegesis. With all these things in mind when one is not reading or reciting holy Quran it should be closed and stored in nice and clean place, it should never be placed on floor or in a bathroom and Muslim should focus on reading quran the tajweed quran and its rules with a proper institute.
