I seem to have a very polar reaction to Highlandflyers opinions, I am either all for them or all against them, in this case I am all for them. As he states his words have been taken somewhat out of context. As some one who rides in central London on a daily basis, you do see so many clueless cyclists who are a danger to themselves and have little understanding of the risks they put them selves in. People who have never driven, and so have little idea of rights of way and general road etiquette. This isn't a cyclist thing, nor a car driver thing, it is a wider road user thing.
I do use Addison Lee quite a lot, and I have to admit when I first heard these reports I did wonder if I should change that. But actually I decided against it. I find Addison Lee's service to be impeccable. Order a car from my phone app, it will arrive promptly with a courteous professional driver using a car that is always of good standard and at a cost that is for medium-longer london journeys far better than a black cab. I actually used one last night to get me and my bags to Kings cross.
I do however disagree with Mr Griffins less reported call for cyclists to pay a tax and for bikes to be licensed before they are allowed on the road.
