What you also don't seem to get is that this sort of tedious ego-led infighting in advocacy groups is both a depressingly regular feature, much as with local politics in general, and plays straight into the hands of anti-cycling elements.
This echoes what happen with Southwark Cyclists and the founder of Stop Killing Cyclists, the latter went on his own way because he was extremely angry at the lack of 'segregation' Southwark Cyclists proposed to the grand scheme of thing, attacked anyone who suggest otherwise, and decided the best way to encourage more people to ride is to simply remind them how many people have die attempting their exhilarating journey to the local post office.

Do you really think no-one else here understands that, you patronising tit?
Let me reiterate the point I made earlier: in your efforts to get more people riding bikes, you (or at least these 'Hackney POB' clowns you are suggesting we support) are attacking the policies of the one local organisation that has presided over a substantial increase in cycling in a very challenging environment, and who has come up with a range of solutiins including infrastructure.
What you also don't seem to get is that this sort of tedious ego-led infighting in advocacy groups is both a depressingly regular feature, much as with local politics in general, and plays straight into the hands of anti-cycling elements. The fact that certain publicity hungry consultants (yes I'm looking at you Copenhagenize) have taken it upon themselves to fan the flames as a sort of cheap way of drawing attention to their 'services' has made things even worse.
