Are we coming to the stage where we need to set up a LFGSS fund where we all chip in a tiny amount each to get flowers and well wishing cards for the daily stream of victims?
Maybe we can find a way of informing riders that most boroughs have provisions for (some) free cycle training? Maybe draw up a list of what area offers what in a leaflet format and be able to hand it out to other cyclists we encounter on the road as well as potential cyclists?
I firmly believe that before politely asking other:
cranky/frustrated/down right fucking stupid/overworked & stressed
road users to 'check themselves' as a way of looking after ourselves we should be pushing for cyclists to take some road safety cycling lessons so we can 'check ourselves' and not contribute to our unnecessarily deaths and injuries by default.
