Jeremy Vine has always struck me as pretty awful, but in this article I think he is absolutely spot on. The one key thing we need to do to make cycling in Britain safer is to stop people from despising/loathing/hating cyclists so much.
It’s that simple. If we did that then road fatalities involving bikes would drop enormously.
But how do we do it? Even many of the people on this bike forum loathe cyclists – see some of the cretinous posts on the Irish Headcam vs Toyota 4×4 thread for more details.
