Remembering Svitlana and Other Victims of Bow Roundabout

Submitted by Mr Jones on 12 November 2015

Last night friends and members of Wheelers gathered for a vigil at the memorial bike of the anniversary of the death of Svitlana Tereschenko at Bow Roundabout who was tragically killed there four years ago. Our members also took the opportunity to remember the other victims of Bow Roundabout, Venera Minakhmetova (13 Nov 2013) and Brian Dorling (24 Oct 2011) by placing flowers.

Svitlana remembered

Submitted by Mr Jones on 12 November 2014

11th November was the third anniversary of the tragic death of Svitlana Tereshchenko who was killed at Bow Roundabout. Her memorial bike, which had been restored by Wheelers and removed for the CS2 upgrade, was returned to the site last week. During its removal the bike has been modified so that parts cannot be removed from it.
