The whole front page page of the Evening Standard, a three page internal
spread and an editorial are devoted today to the launch of their campaign for safer and more cycling in London. -- Tony "The most savage controversies are those about matters as to which there is no good evidence either way." - Bertrand Russell |

A good chance for a letter to the editors, pointing out the prblems with the upcoming Highway Code changes, and a mention of the grass-roots (newspapers *love* to think their readers have initiative) campaign to persuade MP's to ask questions about them. Should somone writing such a letter also quote a brush-off reply from their MP, so much the better... |

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? |

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: http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/motorin...htm?cmd=thanks |
