a wider acceptance of cyclists in within the traffic stream
Indeed...
If TFL really want to see this (I have my doubts) they should just come out and say it in the bluntest and most direct way. Something like, "Bikes Belong!" Less "Catch up with the Bike" and more "Make way for the Bike". Let the drivers know what time it is boyeee...
BTW What do the group think the default position for a cyclist is? Is there really any debate between trainers? I would have said Primary but in London one often will be in secondary as it is reasonable to let folks pass lots of the time. I can see that it might feel like secondary was the default but it's not so.... I think
Back in the day, long before I knew anything about cycle training, we just said, "Ride Wide!!". It's still true.
