Last thing I want to do is revive/repeat an RLJ thread, but this is not true in my experience. I see a plethora of RLJing every day on my 20 minute commute from South to London Bridge. Guys, Girls, fast, slow, ginger and bold. Some of it dangerous, the majority not. All of it in my opinion - like kerb hopping or any other abuse of the code - sending an image to motorists of cyclists as irresponsible or irrelevant road users and undermining efforts to raise our status to equals or, dare I suggest, road users to be treated with additional caution and respect.
How we are thought of by other road users - and therefore how they drive/ride around us, is IMHO the single most imortant factor in our road safety. My two cents.
