what puts people off is that the road design isn't attractive to newbie cyclists, not that campaigning reminds people of this problem. there's been a campaigns upsurge after the spate of deaths not simply in response to the deaths themselves but in response to the outrageous victim-blaming narrative that Boris & co tried to weave around those deaths, which was far more likely to put people off than pointing t the real problem. by continental and NYC standards the blue paint is a dangerous joke. if it at least did not have cars parked in it and motors stopping in the ASL boxes without the slightest idea what they are for or fear of enforcement, that would be another small advance from spin to reality
