"It's true that some accidents are caused by cyclist's own poor judgement and more must be done to educate cyclists about the risks of pulling up into the blind spots of large vehicles. We are planning a campaign to raise awareness of these risks, and we are working closely with TFL to erect warning signs at accident blackspots to discourage cyclists from putting themselves at risk," said no cycling safety campaigner EVER.

Just because I don't agree with the line that all cyclists are angels and drivers should jump out of their way doesn't make me a troll and I set up a throw-away account because I don't much fancy getting targeted by an online lynch-mob.
