Bromp I am not trying to be argumentative, cycles have brakes if a lorry is overtaking you at a sensible separation, okay not always the case, use the brakes to check your speed a little and let him overtake, you remain in one piece and he can get on with wherever he is going

If you have to revert to insults because I dont 100% agree with you......
School cycling courses have been road based for years you need to check your facts a bit.
I, too, have been cycling safely, including boris bikes in London in recent years, for about 50 years and I am entitled to my opinion. I do not cycle in traffic every day but I haven't fallen off one because the surface was a bit slippy since I was about 12 :-)
Lighten up a bit.
