Can I suggest some of the 'blinkered' cyclists look back to the first page of this thread? The OP, self admittedly is a cyclist and the article referenced in the first post is clearly from an amateur cyclist's or activists perspective.
The following 70 pages have played right into their hands and they call anyone with an opinion that challenges their view, Or suggestions to make cycling safer, a troll :o. By definition a troll seeks out emotive responses as the first post appears to have succeeded in doing, whether by chance or not, I'm not sure.
I'd say the OP has admitted the need to educate those cyclists that pose a hazard on the roads, even admitting he'd benefit.
Disco man, do you still have the same view exemplified in your first post?
Have you had any group riding learning experiences since post #4?
Cheers.
