Please take 20 seconds to tell the Mayor of London that cyclists need a safe Bow roundabout
Two cyclists have been killed by lorries at Bow roundabout in less than three weeks.
London Cycling Campaign is asking all cyclists to write to the Mayor, telling him that the roundabout needs to be re-designed. We have set up a link on our website.

This is what I wrote:- to safeBow@lcc.org.uk
*Dear Mayor,
Please go to Bow roundabout, try to walk from where Brian died to where Lana died, take you executives and engineers with you then ask yourselves, "Do we really want to live in a city with streets as insanely hostile as this one".
I'm demanding you implement an urgent and effective redesign of this lethal junction, so no more families suffer the tragic losses of the last few weeks. *
