Seen a preview, doesn't look promising so will give it a skip.

1 statistic from the preview is that 28% if drivers don't see cyclist as equal road users so off to a good start.

Good to see this being made although I suspect all it will do is make me angry rather than see any real change happening

Best to give this a skip in my opinion.

I'm watching it now. They've got Rod Liddle on for the anti cyclist side. I regret everything

Is that the guy who left his wife and ran off with a young one?

Well he certainly didn't cycle off with her

The london delivery driver was the most sensible of all. He took responsibility while acknowledging the limitations of road design and user behaviour. "If I take my eyes off the road for a second, something bad hapoens".

Liddle offered nothing new.

The narrator also seemed to be predominantly a recreational cyclist and I think this lessens the point of the amount of money being spent by the UK government. The goal of getting people on bikes is not necessarily related to recreational cyclists but rather to getting people to shift behaviour from car to bike for everyday activity.
