Police spotting (junction watch)

So, all fatalities last couple of weeks is their own fault, as they all were jumping red lights, not wearing hi-viz, listening to music and not having lights on during daytime? Drivers got nothing to do with this.

This is how the wider public will read it unfortunately. The overriding message this operation gives is that it is purely the fault of a cyclist when it comes to injury and death in collisions.

I admit there's a lot of twats out there who need educating as it's not that simple just to hop on a bike and ride in central London traffic. But I feel we're all agreed that the education has to work both ways. I can certainly adopt a safer approach to riding but that is also reliant on other road users adopting an equally safe approach.

It's the Us and Them attitude that is really hurting.
