For all the negative interactions people on here have with ''nodders'' et al. The worst injury is a broken limb, though correct me if I'm wrong. Complaining that other people will get in your way just smacks of the aggressive taxi driver motif, ''get off my road, I could go much faster without you in the way.''>
Agreed with the first part but given the history of poorly designed infrastructure (see Blackfriars Bridge decision to secede road space from the majority cyclists to keep the motor flow crowd happy,) good luck with the inevitable velokettling®. Woe betide the ones that opt not to use it.

Cycling is quite distinct as a form of transport, it is quicker than walking but slower than driving. It is more flexible than driving but less than walking. In the absence of motorised vehicles of significant mass you also have absence of traffic lights. Cyclists mixing with other cyclists can do so through a reasonably fair interaction, no cyclist can argue with a bus that wants to pull in to the kerb.
