'Space for cycling' protest ride 2nd September

^^CB makes the same point I always thought, and never seems to be addressed - the catchment area for London commuters is huge compared to every other city in Europe, and many (most?) peoples experience of London is from inside a car, as opposed to Europe where the cities inhabitants will tend to be able to walk/ride as well as drive

Heavy goods vehicles / construction vehicles designed appropriately for urban driving. Not with a fucking stick-on plastic lens in lieu of full height windscreens affording all round visibility.

I was riding home on Wednesday and saw a van with one of the new low cabs, was tempted to stop and talk to the driver, but certainly seemed less threatening being at car level. It also reduces the need for separate angled down mirrors.
