If you support segregated cycling infrastructure in Hackney

I'd like to see cyclists get a little more uniform/predictable on the roads, surely such a thing would help inch the environment to a better place for all users

This is a sound point. It's here that the most extreme version of the segregation argument tends to tie itself in knots: it's pushing the idea of 'making cycling safer' on the one hand, while refusing any suggestion of actually trying to cycle in a more organised / predictable way, despite this being one way of making cycling a safer activity in general, because then cycling in some way is no longer something 'anyone can do'.
