‘The 300 cyclists who turned up were all invited into the cab of one of the lorries to get a driver’s view of the road; it was a revelation. From 10ft up it is impossible to see a cyclist on the kerbside; even more scarily, it was impossible to see a cyclist right in front, either. I dread to think of the number of times I have gone in front of a truck at a traffic light thinking I was safe. I’ll never do that again. The police advice? Stay a safe distance behind. What will overtaking gain you, asked one policeman; three seconds?’
