Cycle campaigning

Oh I see what you're saying. Yes, agreed. Like this:

I spotted this TfL 'Safety Tip' in the Metro this morning -

Is this really the first time they have conveyed that message?

Oh boy, just re-read this post from https://www.lfgss.com/thread75247.html back in 2011...

Here is a new cycle safety video from TfL

"Wherever possible try using designated cycle lanes"

Does try mean you should use them or consider their benefit before using them?

The bit about HGVs doesn't show the position you should take.

There is very little assertive positioning going on as well.

Any other thoughts?
