I've been lying in bed trying to get to sleep by listening to BBC Radio London (usually works) and there's yet another ill-informed discussion about cycle safety.
When the third caller in a row (none of them cyclists) declared that we ought to be wearing helmets and the presenter said we go too fast and then another caller moaned about how we don't use the segregated lanes provided, I cracked and phoned in.
Not sure how successfully I got my points across but I tried to convey the complexity of these issues and the simple truths.
