Addison Lee drivers told to defy bus lane law (and to just say SMIDSY)

I would go along with a boycott of his company until he changes his advice to his drivers about bus lanes.
His article about cyclists, though, and his 'clarification' are a different matter. Very unusually for someone with such ill-thought out and ill-informed views he says that in London cycle lanes are not the answer, training is. The answer to the problem as he sees it, that is.
I think he is wrong about the problem but there is an opening there to have a discussion with him. He is ignorant of reality:
A few years ago, almost every school child did a cycling proficiency test, which involved negotiating their way around bollards and learning the Highway Code. What has happened to that, and why is it not on the agenda any more?
I would be more than happy to have him come along and watch a training session in a school.
He has never heard of Bikeability. Almost certainly he does not know that cycle training is available for free or very cheaply for all adults in London. We may not like his views, or his tone, or his company or his tie but there is an opportunity here to change his perspective and, who knows, get him on our side
It depends what we want to achieve.
