Fair enough. I do get where you are coming from in terms of you having a right to dislike and slag off someone who is a bit of an arsehole, and a right to dislike what he does. What I disagre with is the suggstion that he does not have a right to peacefully protest unless he has the victims family's support. He should be a lot more sensitive and considerate, but every single one of us has the right to take another cyclist's death personally and protest as we see fit in response The victims family do not have a right to tell this guy he can't protest, which is what some on here seem to be inferring or implying. (Leaving it a week or two, perhaps after the date of a small family-run vigil, and protesting the site of the collision without mentioning the victim's name would seem to me to be the right thing to do if there is no support from the family, but the guy still has a right to block the roads where the collision happened if he wants, ,imo.)

The individual concerned tends to use these deaths for his own agenda. Often he is more interested in arguing with other cycling campaigners than addressing the issues to a wider audience. And when he does venture into the public realm he tends to aggravate and antagonise rather than win friends.
Having him do these high profile campaigns to promote his own ego and agenda, exploiting these grim occurences does not sit well with many of us. Hence why his cycle campaigning is not widely supported by this cycling community.
