No - But people on bikes don't just throw themselves under lorries either. They are being killed by negligent road design and bad driving (and, yes, possibly sometimes bad cycling).


Although, I think the addition of "of cyclists" isn't really helpful. The protest was also about pedestrians and public space more broadly. "Stop The Killing" should be enough.

    • When mine was stolen I tracked it to Dog Kennel Hill Sainsbury's car park, where it sat for several hours, and then over to a phone shop on Rye Lane in Peckham. Police thought they likely stash them somewhere in the car park until they have a few to drop off. It's literal schoolkids, so even worse in the holidays.
    • Saw the aftermath of another phone theft on east dulwich grove by trio last night. Then half an hour later spotted them biking back to 'work'. Crazy the police can't do anything about this - they are clearly cruising the same streets. 
    • Alas, poor Toadflax!  And gentle Alkanet.
    • Generally wild flowers which are indigenous to the UK are more likely to be supporting more wild life than introduced species, more commonly found in gardens, simply because wild life hasn't had time to adapt to it. Although of course many introductions which flower will be supporting pollinators more generally. (This would also be true of native as opposed to introduced tree and scrub species). And I suspect plants which are flowering over public space, even if rooted on private property, are being removed to stop them setting seed in public space. [Although many might see that as a good thing if the plants have merits of their own].
