I just don't think the campaign groups and their supporters are thinking too much about how they come across to other cyclists and the parties they are trying to get to listen.
I'm bringing my argument right back round to the beginning now (sorry). I see more near misses caused by poor cycling every day during rush hour than caused by drivers, lorries or layout yet so little discussion is around improving the cyclist. People keep telling me that the campaign groups are addressing this but part of that has to be pushing the message publically, even on forums like this if only to de-alienate the cylists that feel alienated to gain further support.
The perception is that the focus is all on the other road users. Reading this thread reinforces that perception for me.
I know this Oliver.
