Funeral for the Unknown Victim of Traffic Violence

Bedford Sq to Marble Arch, London. Sat 15 Nov 2014

 

 
 Cyclists gather for the funeral procession, some with decorated bicycles

 

 and there is a fine horse-drawn funeral carriage

 'Traffic STOP Killing and Pollution'

 

 BanPrivateCarsinLondon.com has some interesting information and links - and a blog

The carriage containing the coffin reflects the main banner  

14 cyclists were killed in London in 2013 - mostly when vehicles turned left over them 

Big lorries are the main things that kill cyclists. 30% are dangerously defective, but the laws are not enforced
