Commenting following the tragic death of a cyclist on a cycle superhighway in Bow - the 15th cycling death in London this year - Caroline Pidgeon said:
"With London roads seeing a 50 per cent increase in cycle deaths this year it is time the Mayor accepted the need to urgently examine the design of London's most dangerous junctions.
"Instead of lecturing people about cycling the Mayor must start to listen to the concerns of cyclists."
Caroline, along with Simon Hughes MP, and Lib Dem London Assembly candidate for Lambeth and Southwark, Rob Blackie, joined several hundred local cyclists on a bike ride around London's ten most dangerous junctions, to raise awareness of cycle safety issues and protest at TfL's lack of progress in safeguarding cyclists and pedestrians.
You can read more about the "Tour du Danger" on the Demotix website, the Londonist blog, the London24 website and the London SE1 website - which points out that former Conservative mayoral candidate Steve Norris, interviewing Caroline on LBC radio, agreed that action is needed on these junctions.
