Don't be a pussy, don't be a dick

TfL's actions here are to be applauded in that they are not trying to impose anything but to get relevant bodies in London round a table to come up with recommendations

Ok fair enough... Like I said, the coffee was strong.

There are clearly some progressive voices somewhere within tfl. However they are not the only voices and as an organisation they have built some really bad stuff as you point out. I'm sure you have seen the proposal for Blackfriars? Shockingly poor for cycling and totally at odds with what we teach. Don't get me started on what they are doing to Henley's Corner..... Also, since Boris fried the LIP process, they no longer have any say in what the bouroughs build or don't build or what standard to use. TFL runs the TLRN(?) roads and er... that's it. There is no one that I am aware of, who could set a cycling policy for London even if there was the will to do it.

I can think of only two positions to show a cyclist in publications. Middle of the lane or to the left. There is only one choise as the left option is tantamount to encouraging dangerous riding. Interestingly, the road is absent from most (all?) of the "Catch up with the Bike" imagery. So they kind of dodged this issue.

The pithy phrase needs to be aplicable to all road users. No one should be behaving like a cock/pussy. Sometime it drives me nuts when a driver hangs off my tail and hasn't got the guts/skills to pass me cleanly when they can.

We ALL need to be considerate to each other. So how about, "Spread the love"?
