Asking people to email in with opinions. Thought i'd try and get a bit of support from here so it doesn't end up just the usual anti-cycling nonsense!

I think that first sentence is a terribly sad thing to say,

"Cycling is one of the capital's most contentious transport issues after congestion charging and Tube strikes. "

We really are doomed when something as beneficial to *everyone* as cycling is deemed 'contentious'.

Worse is the links from that page – it even links:

offftt. Nothing makes cyclist look worse than videos like that!

Would have been nicer to link to the CTC or something.

I guess they just want the two polarized opinions to make interesting TV / Radio.

I guess the outcome will be:
"Cyclists have their place – but they need to obey the laws of the road, get out of the ways of cars, stay off the pavement and generally **** off while I'm out in my car".

Although the sound track to that video is pretty sweet. And it does look kinda fun 😉
