A MEMORIAL for a cyclist has been moved away from the junction where she died to allow works which campaigners say will make the road more dangerous.

The white “ghost bike” for Deep Lee, the 24-year-old Central St Martin’s fashion student, was moved to the south side of Euston Road by Transport for London (TfL). Around 80 cyclists took part in a go-slow ride protest around King’s Cross on Monday night. It was the fourth one-hour “Bikes Alive” protest since the death of Ms Lee in October.

Campaigner Albert Beale said: “Work to re-align some kerb lines and remove a traffic island will increase the flow of motor vehicles through a key part of the junction, introducing new dangers for cyclists.

“Bikes Alive – which works with other vulnerable, non-motorised road users – is pledged to continue to take action until the balance of power on London’s roads is changed.”

Cyclists want a green bike lane installed at the junction.
