Attacked

I think violence and aggression very quickly get out of hand, and so should be a last resort.

Agreed, last resort always, but to let buses and vans and cars cut us up and endanger our lives and then wave them on with a smile and reward their shitty road-craft with respect is simply encouraging future problems.

Tynan, you might be familiar with that whole 'unintended consequences' thing people mentioned when they suggested we shouldn't invade Iraq.

Not sure what connection you are attempting to make ?

I also think that what you're advocating is mainly for your own benefit - it's pure catharsis, intended to make you feel better in the face of your powerlessness.

Partially, yes.

Because, face it - you scaring people with your 'Hulk aaaAAANGRY' act is not going to make the streets of London safer. The best you can hope for is that one single driver might slow down a bit - if they're not too pissed off with cyclists.

Well obviously I don't share that opinion.
