RIP

Ride in Peace unknown cyclist.

RIP unknown rider :(

Oh no. Horrible. RIP rider.

RIP Rider, love and thoughts to all those who knew and loved you.

🙏 My thoughts to their family and friends.

So sad. The report says she was hit at the High Holborn/Procter Street junction, yet the tent is shown very close to the Kingsway/High Holborn junction. The article rightly links to Alan Neve's death in 2013:

Imagine all of this happening and people being aware of the dangers of cycling in London AND STILL calling for less LTN less cycleways etc. Similarly anyone who cycles on Whitechapel road or near E1,as I do on the daily, is also keenly aware of the hazards that lorry / taxi / whitevan / (unt drivers pose. Anything past Mile End road junction is also a free for all with idiots speeding and overtaking with little regard to vulnerable road users. Absolutely mad!

Apologies for rant,
NAS

RIP rider. How sad.

Can't make the vigil sadly...RIP.
