Some people still don't get it. It is plain selfish if you take out your boat and get into trouble as someone is going to risk themselves to rescue you. The NHS are already risking their lives, don't add to their problems.

A year ago, we protested against inaction on London's streets, inaction that had led to another cyclist killed at a junction known to be lethal. And while we've seen progress since then, it's nowhere near good enough. Sign our petition today: membership.lcc.org.uk/tell-m…
