The flowers and photographs on the traffic pole are a memorial to another cycle death in London. Ying Tao a 26 year old woman was killed on her way to work on a Monday morning in June this year. She was the 8th cyclist killed this year.
Last year over 5,000 cyclists were injured or killed on London's roads. Many the result of left turning vans and lorries. There is a growing movement to ban these vehicles from inner city roads during rush hour traffic.
Today London's roads will be free from traffic as thousands of bikes partake in free cycle, an annual event where cyclists of all levels can freely cycle around the city in safety.
