I hear this, I agree with so much of what you say, I don't like scaremongering either (take one recent campaign group lamenting the 'murder of cyclists' etc) I am simply giving another view. These debates will run and run. Perhaps this doesn't matter - the great thing is that cycling HAS become political, it will matter in the Mayoral campaign this year and it's making news.
