A commenter under the story has managed to succinctly sum up something which I have always thought but never managed to articulate that well, i.e. that it is hard to excuse this kind of article as 'just my opinion' when they filter into some drivers' subconscious and affect how they drive around cyclists:

"Your words will kill."

So succinct, and, sadly, so true.

Yeah, it's been removed. Finger_jockey posted the google cache URL in the other thread, though.

It's linked to on their Twitter feed as ".@Andrew_Frankel on the problem with some cyclists and what can be done to keep everyone safe"

Which is a bit odd as the article seemed a bit light on safety advice.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
