"Is dangerous cycling a problem" BBC

I assume you mean the average traffic speed rather than speed limit.

What I'd love to see happen is cyclists riding well together (instead of competing) and on difficult/dangerous junctions, eg Vauxhall to ride 2-3 abreast to calm the motorised traffic behind and also look after cyclists who are not so fast/confident.

During commuting hours cyclists are blocked /forced into dangerous positioning because of heavy traffic. The majority of the vehicles are private cars carrying only one person. But the attitude is still that one driver has priority over 5+ cyclists. It is very odd.

From my experience cyclists do look out for each other, the ones who always wanna challenge or take risks are the ones one ill fitted bikes. Do you serious call these people on bikes cyclists? Or indeed those ones with extremely fancy bikes who properly went in evans and asked for the most expensive bike just because they have the money.

As for cyclists being forced into dangerous situation, I think a lot of drivers have a lot to answer for. They alaways stop at that 5m cycle box and so are focred to stay well in front of them or be at risk of getting knocked off onece the car turns. Once I had a bus driver insisted he has the right to stay in that cycle box and I was focred to stop in the middle of the crossing and the bus driver was slowly pushing me forward. Did I put myself in a dangerous situation or did the driver then?

Sadly as much as I would and I assumer many would like to cycle together like the London Freewheel event every single day, this is just not gonna happen simply because the number of asshole drivers totally outnumbered anything. I think many people should be banned from driving.
