So, putting aside my histrionics for a sec, here's what we know about cars:
- most people can't actually afford them
- they're poisoning the ocean
- they're wrecking the climate
- they're the leading cause of death for young humans
- they take up most public space in our cities

Cyclists aren’t the ‘scourge of the streets’. They are mothers, fathers, grandparents and children all doing their bit to make Britain a healthier, greener and more liveable place.

I’m always amazed by the disconnect between what we see in the news and the reality of the world around us. As my late friend Hans Rosling would say, we must fight the fear instinct that distorts our perspective: b-gat.es/2WvUqqp

Really? 30 weeks for killing a cyclist whilst distracted by your phone? This is a serious crime and should be treated as such. O but he was driving a car, it doesn't really count, doesn't cut it.
