Agreed - they pursuade cyclists to ride on the left of traffic - most deaths happen for exactly that reason - ride out in the traffic, ride like a car, get visible
We both know - but many don't - that a lot of the deaths happen when cyclists do what their cycling proficiency tells them to do and that is ride in the curb - from their they have no where to go if a large vehicle turns left across them and they have railings or the like to their left
Nothing nasty. No bullying, just gently pointing out that you don't need to tell me how to ride a bike.
You say it wasn't intended, so fine. No problem.
