If you support segregated cycling infrastructure in Hackney

There's really nothing wrong with doing cycle training and also campaigning for better infrastructure simultaneously, and it weakens all of us to have this kind of internecine squabbling

I have to agree with that and that's why the attitude of some pro-infrastructure campaigners in Hackney has puzzled me, given that HCC themselves have taken a nuanced position that appears open to discussion depending on local needs.

The whole point is that no single approach is a panacea and things are best worked out as part of an ongoing dialogue with the relevant Public Realm people - backed, ideally, with proper education. I dream that strict liability would be added to that but don't hold out much hope for it.
