This might whip up some heat on here and plenty of anti cyclist comments, but I just wanted to post these two links which demonstrate the woefully inadequate sentencing that seems to occur when cyclists are killed on the roads..

I have seen comments on here from some motorcyclists that cyclist's ride like prats or deserve what's known as a 'close pass' - I find this especially hard to take as we are both vulnerable on the roads & subjected to the 'SMIDSY' response when drivers pull out on us from junctions and side roads; 'sorry mate I didn't see you'...
I will not be able to repond to posts as I'm getting the train up to London to take part in this demo;

Just leave you with this chilling stat;
'over a thousand people killed cycling on our roads in the last decade'
