My route from Shoreditch takes me past the junction of Clerkenwell Road and Goswell Road. There, chained to a traffic barrier near a branch of Costa Coffee is a solitary bike, painted white. It marks the spot where Rebecca Goosen lost her life at just 29 when she was crushed in an horrific incident with a cement mixer in April 2009.

Every time I see that white bike, it catches me and I feel I freeze for a moment – it’s a profoundly affecting, understated tribute.
