Cyclist deaths

Categories: Tragedy

Much of the street research for LondonRemembers is done by bike. 820 cyclists were killed or seriously injured in 2009 on roads in Britain. Many of these deaths are avoidable. Many of the drivers of the motor vehicles involved received minimal, if any, legal penalty.
