The next time you cycle to work, please post a video of the *entire* journey, rather than conveniently selecting clips which fit in with your militant anti-motorist prejudices and your determination to believe that cyclists never do anything wrong (and even if they do, they shouldn't be punished for it, because they're "saving the planet").

What's that clinking...is it another bottle being thrown into the already full bottle bank? Afraid that your assertions that cyclists "never" jump red lights and that motorists "always" do will be shown to be incorrect? Afraid that the video will show countless cyclists (including you) being reckless, self-righteous, obstructive idiots while motorists behave perfectly?

Oh, and about this helmet nonsense. You know, where you pretend to think that helmets don't improve safety because you're worried that if you admit they improve safety then that will result in compulsion. Don't you think that it's incredibly irresponsible to knowingly mislead people about road safety? What if a child took your deliberately wrong advice not to wear a helmet and died from head injuries as a result? Don't you think that saving that child's life is more important than your petty quest to reward cyclists for "saving the planet" by resisting all restrictions on cycling, however sensible they are? (It's OK, I know you won't answer that question...I wonder who taught you that debating "technique"?)
