Cycle Safe London

I posted this on another thread on Friday - but I think it deserves a thread to itself.

I think if we are going to harness any of the anger & energy following the recent deaths and serious injuries we need to get organised, this is one way of doing that.
I know that there are many people who have been doing similar for years - but this may be a chance for us to make a difference due to the rising number of commuter cyclists in London.
In order for it to work this needs to be as broad a church as possible - so come over to the link, register and get involved.
This site was set up by the guys on londonfgss - if we get involved and someone gets CycleChat involved and then there is ACF etc etc
Things (good things) could happen.

Just one thing (and this isn't an anti-London thing) shouldn't this be a national thing? people all over the country get kill/maimed on our roads everyday, yes more in London than else where, but that is down to numbers and not that lorry/bus drivers in other parts of great Britain are better drivers or can see you any more clearly on your bike. A national thing would get better result would in not?

Came across this ridiculous petition on there: http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/cycletrackuse/#detail
to$$ers
2020 Canyon Ultimate CF SLX
2020 Canyon Inflite SL 7
On the Strand
Crown Stables
And yes, that is a ridiculous petition... Luckily only about 8 signatures.
If you search cycl* on the retitions site, you can see all the cycling petitions running at the minute, as well as a few about cyclones!
Lots of people wanting cyclists to pay tax/have insurance.
Also, if you hit the 'rejected' tab you can see lots of ranty ranty ones about the same.
On the 'closed' tab I quite liked this one :http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/Cycle-lanes/
Viner Maxima, Tifosi CK7, Giant Bowery, Old commuter.

Stopped smoking, saved a fortune. Started cycling, spent it all!
Oh cycle tracks by the road side :-) When I read that I had the picture of a proper racing track in my head, in which case I'd happily sign up :-)
EDIT: Signed the original petition...

In Essex where I live now, I had a driver tell me to use the cycle lane when I was on the road... The cycle lane that was populated by joggers!
Isn't it funny that the rednecks that normally want nothing to do with taxes suddenly make a complete U turn when it comes to cycling. I've always said I'd be happy to pay proportionally for my use of the roads - which I think would cost me about 5p a year - if it shut those road tax bores up.
As it happens I pay tax for my car - so am in fact subsidising cost of the roads as I hardly ever drive.
