FWIW I want to lend my support and the plight of cyclists affected in this way in London concerns me greatly... But... I don't attend such events simply because I rarely feel that the solutions vocally campaigned for chime with my own politics or personal feelings. I'd feel a charlatan or a mawkish bystander if I attended and as such I stay away - feeling that an event potentially intended for the inclusion of families affected by tragedy etc is not the place for someone whose views may actually contrast with many of the attendees. I think it's worth recalling that we make the decision on a daily basis to promote cycling by getting on our bikes and using the roads while interacting with other road users... By being spotted as it were - which reminds me where I am. Sorry.
