2013-11-13 - Rider Down/Fatality - Bow Interchange (London)

Worst week in living memory.

RIP lady rider.
Thoughts are with your loved ones.

It's been a horrific fucking week and it's only wednesday. What the fuck is going on out there?

Incredible sense that all of these deaths could have been avoided - when something happens on the trains or aeroplanes, there is outrage from the media and public (quite rightly) and almost immediate action. Hatfield springs immediately to mind where four people were killed. Three people killed at Bow, and what happens? Nothing.

Aware that this is not the thread for ranting so please ride safe everyone and go home to people who love you tonight (and not via the Bow Roundabout)

So sad for those left behind affected by the deaths this week.

My condolences go out to this rider's friends and family.

terrible

RIP rider. Your friends and family are in my thoughts.

When will this shit end? A pointless, avoidable waste of life.

A truly awful week.

RIP rider.

So sorry to hear this RIP

Horrific to read this again, this week.

So sorry for the rider's family and friends.

RIP rider and condolences to those who loved you.

This week is truly horrific. I hope that these four deaths finally act as enough of a catalyst for our politicians to actually do something rather than just talk about it.

a truly grim week

Thoughts going out to all who cared for her.

How long can this go by with nothing done about it.

Awful to hear, RIP.

RIP lady cyclist. Two minutes from home for me, hate this roundabout, but no other choice than to use it.

I passed a sign on Commercial St this morning which warned of an 'Accident at Bow roundabout'. I knew immediately it was another cyclist. RIP. Feel sick right now.

RIP fellow rider.

A dreadful week.

You're lucky you still have to choice to get off your bike and walk around/across it as a ped. Fair from ideal and you shouldn't have to but if it means you get home each night, I know what I'd be doing if I had to use it.

I've always felt safer going over the flyover, which is a completely ridiculous state of affairs quite frankly.

RIP rider. 12th this year in London

Words are few, but feelings are many. Many thoughts for friends and Family, Rest well Rider.

Sleep well rider x

What a horrible week - RIP rider.

Fuck me. Again? on Bow Roundabout? Everyone ride safe. RIP Rider, thoughts and love going out to you and your loved ones.

terrible news RIP rider

Once again, my sincere condolences to this riders family and friends.
Bow roundabout is a mess.

no, it's bow roundabout, you can't even walk across it, there's no pedestrian phase on any of the arms.

you can run across it, between phases, just about...

this is happening tonight. i have no opinion on it.
