Die-In and Vigil at TfL HQ. Public

Campaigners must be careful neither to accidentally talk down the cause for which they are working by communicating an unrealistic image of 'danger', nor to invoke some sort of unrealistic ideal

The demographic we now want to add to the cycling revolution, you know people other than the thoughtful and fit chaps such as dominate this forum, aren't going to be sweet-talked into facing down HGVs by a bit of self-censorship on our part. Quite the contrary - if children and mothers and other 'non-cyclists' are ever going to get on a bike, they rely on us to kick up a fuss and sort the roads out - to atleast create roadspace and layout and priority in proportion to the huge percentage of vehicular traffic that is not bike in central london. Check out RAC figures - in many inner london boroughs there are more cycling commutes than commutes by taxi car and van put together. With the brave already on a bike, now's not the time for softly softly. Now's the time to point out that London Cyclists are a big block that save the city megabucks and deserve better than blue paint. For all the noise, Boris's instructions to transport planners seem aimed at anything other than providing a decent sodding junction
