Not really, it highlights one of the key factors in cyclists safety, road design. Despite the marked increase in cycling in London, this is barely matched in terms of changes in road design to accomodate this. The old design principles are still in place that pander to drivers demands. Any realistic campaign for change should address this issue.
As for ASLs and their feeder lanes, I think that used wisely they can be a perfectly good tool for cyclists safety. The main problem doesn't lie with their existence but on how people approach and treat them.
