Poignant vigil at Bow roundabout calls for safe design

Submitted by owen on 18 November 2011

The cycling and local community came together at Bow roundabout for a poignant candlelit vigil in the presence of the family and friends of the two cyclists who recently lost their lives there.

Over one hundred joined the vigil on Friday night to pay their respects and add their support to safe junctions for all.  After an introduction by Tower Hamlets Wheelers, family members and local politicians spoke to the assembled crowd calling for the roundabout to be made safe.
