These campaigns for cycling ghettos are tedious and only aim to address a misconception of where danger is. Given that most accidents occur at junctions putting cyclists into out of sight, out of mind, segregated lanes which acquiesce priority at every road they converge with is a recipe for disaster.
Address the perceptions of where the risks are, explain and educate people as to where to ride to be safer. Campaign for strict liability on UK roads.
I get enough aggression from drivers shouting at me to use poorly designed dangerous infrastructure already. Your ill thought out campaign aimed at the people who have transformed Hackney into one of the most cycling friendly boroughs is a shame and poor use of your time and resources.
