The 'die in,' which took place on a road in Homerton, was in memory of cyclist Akis Kollaros, a music producer and musician from Dalston, who was killed last week in a collision with a tipper truck. Greek-born Kollaros had taken up cycling after moving to the city three years ago, according to the Evening Standard
