For the record: whilst cycling, if I ever get crushed by a truck / bus / dickhead in Range Rover, then everyone has my permission to do what they want in my name. Block roads, protest, burn cars, loot shops, destroy TfL offices, petrol bomb City Hall, do whatever you want or can to make sure my passing is remembered, might change something, isnt just a meaningless forgotten statistic, vanishing into the ether of time. I wont care about any awkwardness or possible hijacking of my death for the agenda of better cycling (the horror!) - I'll be dead. My family and friends can grieve at my funeral. The rest of you will have to continue to live on and put up with the shit that killed me (lack of separated bike routes - you want crossrail for bikes NOW ? I wish I had your patience) and try to make the city/world a better place.
