Youre saying that people that don’t ‘outpace’ others on the road aren’t helping anyone? You realise that all people have an equal right to the public road? You have the same feeling about other slow moving traffic like children, pedestrians, cyclists, equestrians, farm workers yeah?
Either way, cyclists in London genuinely ‘largely outpace’ all motorists so we should force all motorists to the back for all traffic lights yeah? So, basically the way it’s setup currently with bike boxes 🙄

Buddy, I don’t see any caveat, my issue is with this - “cyclists that needlessly plonk themselves in front of a queue of motor traffic”. Your language says a lot.
You’re missing the whole point of bike boxes/ASLs, I don’t think that they are the greatest thing ever, but if you don’t understand why they are there then see my points above or take your beef up with TFL/DFT/get yourself off a bike forum

ASLs are a bad idea most of the time. If there isn't room alongside then sitting in the queue is the next best option.
Cyclists who needlessly plonk themselves in front of a queue of motor traffic, where that traffic will be largely outpace a cyclist on the upcoming road, aren't helping anyone.
