I think one of the problems is that many (most?) of the anti-cycling brigade see only fast, commuting cyclists, whereas there's another whole area of cycling in people who are simply using bicycles to get around, as in Holland and Denmark, for example: pootlers, maybe, like Ruth, and I'm mostly in that group. Too many of the fast cyclists are , say, rather flexible about obeying the law, and that reflects badly on the rest of us.
