Die-In and Vigil at TfL HQ. Public

I agree that any suggestion that you shouldn't be cycling at all untill dutch standards are in place everywhere would put of cyclists, but I don't see that campaigning for safe provision amounts to this. There are lots of bits of holland where dutch standards are not in place: they generally install the cycle infrastructure when the road becomes dues for renewal anyway. That's what we are not currently doing and should be doing, in addition to the fixes that are recommended at http://theconversation.com/never-mind-investment-we-can-improve-cycle-safety-now-21247

Pissing-off motorists. Pissing off the general public is the concern. People who commute by private car in london are a much smaller demographic and have much less public sympathy than the amount of space they take up on the roads would lead you to believe. Attitudes of those on the bus matter a lot more - and yes, there I'm with you in hope that what results isn't antagonism. I take it that TfL passengers would want bus drivers to have such technical gizmos, and for there to be such physical infrastructure, that their commutes to work are not interrupted by the bus having to stop so that an ambulance can be called? Also, bus passengers are pedestrians, and the "Stop The Killing" campaign seems to unite those campaigning for pedestrian safety with cyclist campaigners - check their fb group - for the moment the media might be portraying this as a "cycling protest" but there is a tactical gain to be won here in the broader base of concern about blind lorries and busses that this "Stop The Killing" campaign seems to involve. If the chaps demonstrating for pedestrian and cyclist safety keep it civil, the main inconvenience will be to the Mayor's political image - which is precisely how to exert pressure. To judge from LCC updates, it would appear that others squaring up to the mayor is reaping dividends in implementation brought forward.
