I look forward to the mealy-mouthed, less than 100% condemnations.
"Motorists do far worse"...

It was discussed in uk.rec.cycling when it was actually news, with wide condemnation.

This whole story is very regrettable, not least because it has precipitated a rant by Jennifer Selway in today's Express about cyclists; "I remember when cyclists knew their place, in the guard's van; one day they will wake up and realise that getting from A to B is much more pleasant in a car with air-con" sorry can't face reading any more ;-(

It promises to be a good weekend to be out on a bike unless you live in W London; half the South East and most of the Mail/Express readers will be in gridlock/arguing with cyclists on trains, travelling to the Ideal Home Exhibition ;-)
