I heard it on good authority on Friday that the ES was going to launch
an anti-cycling campaign today.

Clearly my 'good authority' was not up to much.

A cynic might say that your authority had perhaps
heard that there was to be a "cycling" campaign,
What other kind could there possibly be?

Overall a pretty good piece. I'm so used to reading anti-cyclist
drivel in this rag that the cynical side of me asks what's in it for
them?

400,000 London cyclists?

Letters page may be interesting today.

If the coverage gets the average cabbie, lorry driver or bod on the
tube actually thinking about cycling and cyclists then it's a good
thing. Perhaps a campaign against speeding or using a mobile could run
concurrently, or articles that make people aware that the same legal
sanction that apply to red light jumping also applies to driving into
an ASL.



Meanwhile, over at the Torygraph, gorgeous pouting Erin Baker's
bothering her pretty little head about cyclists again:
