Done. Wot I wrote:
*Dear Mayor,
I'm appalled by the two cyclist fatalities that have taken place recently at Bow roundabout.
I am writing to demand that you implement an urgent and effective redesign of this lethal junction, so no more families suffer the tragic losses of the last few weeks.
You will, I'm sure, be aware that the London Cycling Campaign and others have written to Transport for London on a number of occasions highlighting the very serious dangers presented to cyclists and pedestrians at and near this junction, including after it was redesigned to accommodate the Cycle Superhighway.
This tragedy, therefore, seems to have been preventable. Transport for London and the Mayor's office needs to take immediate and urgent steps to make not just this junction, but other junctions such as King's Cross safe for cyclists.
For too long your administration has placed too much priority on smoothing traffic flow at the expense of cyclists' lives. This is unacceptable.
As a cyclist and a Londoner I demand immediate action.
Yours sincerely,
Fox*
