    They’re probably not looking for you whizzing up the middle of them either.

    At the end of the day you’re a squishy meat sack and they’re in a two ton metal box, albeit in central London, one travelling at about 5 mph. If you feel safer doing that then you do you. I’m just saying I wouldn’t.

      Feel what you want to feel, but we have data that it’s safer on the road than the “pavement” (sidewalks in the UK) and I’d rather go by data than feelings. Feeling safe is not the same as being safe.
