Are Edinburgh's road safer for cyclists 5 years from Zhi Min Soh's death?
A vigil will be held tonight to remember student Zhi Min Soh who died whilst cycling on Princes Street 5 years ago, but are the roads in the Capital safer now?
Five years ago (May 31 2017) 23-year-old student Zhi Min Soh died whilst cycling on Edinburgh's Princes Street.
It's speculated her bicycle wheel had become trapped in a tram track.
The Malaysian national was then struck by a mini bus on the junction between Princes Street and Lothian Road.
Hayley Weetman has organised the vigil as part of the cycling group Infrasisters, she told Forth News:
"It is still dangerous and loads of people are still falling over at those tram tracks.
"It's like, we're waiting for another accident like that to happen. It's totally avoidable. We don't want that to happen."
Hayley believes strides have been taken in the last half a decade to make cycling safer in the Capital, but ultimately she and other cyclists are looking to see things happen more quickly, she said:
"There are loads of improvements. And there have been some temporary tracks that have been put up recently that have just been amazing.
"There are lots of plans as well to put more things in and it's just that we want, we want those plans sped up a little bit, because it's been five years now"
On organising this event, she told us:
"No family should ever have to go through the pain of losing a loved-one like this. We want to let Zhi Min's family know we care, and that this mustn't happen to anyone else.
"We are urging Edinburgh Councillors to support a vision zero strategy in the city as a matter of urgency."
The vigil gets underway at 6pm near the Huxley on Rutland Place.
Organisers want to hold a minute's silence, lay flowers and play music at Zhi Min Soh's 'ghost bike' memorial.
They'll send photos back to her family, who have given their blessing for the event.
