• Jim - I have looked into this in detail and spoke to Bill regarding his experiences in handling of relatives. its a really tough area.

    My take (an rational that eases my mind) is the arrival of a news story telling how another parent has been made childless, son father less or husband has lost a wife through a road cycling accident would bring their grievance back, and i also believe they would angry it is still happening.

    I hope friends and family of the deceased do not walk past the sites daily, if they do then i hope those and all others see it as a message to others that the road is still not safe, and more needs to be done.
    For all others that thought of passing a site where someone died would take more of their thoughts than their ipod shuffle, daily rag or current work drama.
    but It needs to be done tastefully

    I have posted letters throughout our bike park, got a lot of "yeah whatever" responses, but it takes time.

    OK the list of sites is below - JBC - need more accurate junction details - any ideas?
    The names of people will not be printed at the sites without permission from relatives. instead a note saying a "cyclist died" will be placed.

    1 - Upper Thames St (?) - Nick Wright (Sep 08)
    2 - Blackfriars bridge north side South bound - Vicki McCreery (?08)
    3 - Kingsway meets Southampton Row & Wernon Place - Wan-Chen McGuiness (2008)
    4 - Wolburn Place meets Guilford St - Amelia Zollner
    5 - Oxford St - between Hanover Square & Hollies St - Ed Newstead
    6 - Grays Inn Road meets Theobalds Road - Paul Ellis
    7 - Corner of St John St and Clerkenwell Rd - Harriet Tor
    8 - PentonVille Road meets Penton Rise - Madeline Wright
    9 - Pentonville Road Meets Cynthia St - Joe Cooper
    10 - Streatham Hill (?) - Kate Charles (Dec 07)
