It's pointless. The ES and their anti-cyclists campaign is just symptomatic of a wider picture. That being that London hates cyclists. Everyday cycling through this city I come across small things that reinforce this view in me. Even the way the lights are phased so cyclists end up waiting longer at reds than other traffic or get hit by a double and sometimes triple red. We are second class road users and I can't see it ever really changing
