I am not offended but I don't think I agree either. DJ wasn't talking about paying respects after all - he was talking about campaigning events. I have to admit, I too find it surprising that we have all the rider down threads and yet only ever a handful of forumengers getting involved with lobbying/campaign work.
Of course everyone is entitled to pay respects, mourn, pray, campaign or ignore the issues as they wish though.
As for your point about crap cycling - sure, this is an issue and no one denies that (groups like ours are constantly advocating cycle training/this forum discusses dangerous cycling) but to suggest the problem doesn't mostly lie with these extremely dangerous HGVs tearing around our too-narrow streets is, in my view, wrong and it perpetuates the idea that we vulnerable cyclists are to blame.
