more terrible news. something really does need to be done about this. I've started a letter to my MP which I will finish over the next few days.

I would have thought the only person who is likely to do anything about this is the mayor. this may well have been spoken of elsewhere on the forum (we've had so many rider down threads I'm sure it has come up) but I think we should all write to him seperately. this forum has such a big audience now surely we could badger him until at least the cause is recognised. there are too many people suffering to be ignored.

I'm going to write to him, and will get all my friends, family and collegues who are willing to to also send a letter. A quick search tells me:

You can contact the Mayor as follows:

By email: mayor@london.gov.uk
Postal Address:

It certianly can't hurt.
