Kingsland Road closed

At the risk of sounding like a broken record ... :)

If you're on a bike or on foot, and you're commuting, you are traffic.

I know that's what you meant, of course, so I hope this doesn't come across as silly nitpicking. It's just that it's worth avoiding falling into the easy trap of using 'traffic' to mean 'motor traffic' and to implicitly signal that that's the only recognised form of traffic.

Doesn't come across as silly nitpicking - though I don't reckon if you're on foot you're traffic. I see your point but one of the beauties of cycling is that I like to choose when I want to be treated as traffic (when I'm riding with motorised traffic) and when I don't. As long as I'm not hurting anyone else then that's the way I roll...
