Further to Dr Ben Fincham's presentation on deviant behaviour and the
emotionally charged debate at the last Cycling and Society Symposium in
Chester I rather enjoyed the CTCs response to TfL's 'Share the Road
Campaign'.

Understanding deviant behaviour is paramount to promulgating a well
thought out (non-reactionary) message to the public in order to improve
their understanding of something that they may not practice themselves.
Then we can begin to tackle the root cause i.e. elevation of the status
of private motorised travel and oppression of the rights of cyclists to
use the road.
