Oliver, I know you mean well but somehow you have a way sometimes of really rubbing me up the wrong way with the way you write. I don't think you mean to, but jeez..
You wrote: "One curious thing that you'll find with a little more experience about campaigning for change.."
..which is possibly the most patronising way I've been spoken to since, hmm, I was on a pride march aged 14. (that's sixteen years ago)
I apologise for the formulation. It wasn't meant to be patronising. My points stand, though. I was really just picking them up because they're among those commonly-shared falsehoods that you hear all the time from people think who have little experience of traffic and street design. I was probably picked up on most of them when I first started out cycle campaigning, all of twelve years ago. :)
