Jenny Jones blog: Bow Roundabout safety and Mayoral involvement (+ video)

You can see from the YouTube exchange below that things got rather heated at Mayor’s Question Time the other day. The reason I care about how and why two cyclists died at Bow Roundabout is because I simply don’t want the same mistakes to be made again. In the five years from 2005 to 2010, we had eight slight injuries of cyclists and two serious ones. A few months after the Cycle Superhighway directed people onto Bow Roundabout we had two fatalities. This does not seem like an unfortunate coincidence.
