Dear Boris, Enough is enough!

I doubt he intended it to sound patrionising, generally from what I understand, female cyclists tend to cycle safety (safety in term of following the highway code etc.), and seeing those green line approaching the ASL did little to prevent their untimely death.

I doubt it's the fact they're women, just the ASL gave them the illusion that it's safe to undertake vehicles when approaching the ASL.

There's a bit of a contradiction there between 'female cyclists tend to cycle safety' and 'I doubt it's the fact they're women'. Have a read of the stats on that link and it's not so easy to generalise/stereotype as all that.

No slight on either of you; it's a commonly held belief, but I think it's a fairy lazy one – and one which feeds in to a stereotype of females as risk-averse etc etc.
