Hmmmmm asking the LTDA their opinion of cyclists (or anyone not a black cabbie) is almost like asking the KKK their opinion of Barack Obama.

 

They don't represent cabbies at all, they are a bunch of hypocritical nutters given too much power. I don't wanna have a go at this Briggs guy, he's a had a terrble loss but at some point yeah, his actions *could* end up killing far more people than Charlie Alliston did, although of course he doesn't mean it that way. 

One of these days, we're going to see an approach to road safety that involves evidence and doesn't go looking for polarised opinions.

Today is not that day.

Well, we knew as much, didn't we...

This is basically the Briggs Campaign admitting that they're not about road safety. They're just out to get cyclists.

Yep.

I hope Mr Briggs appreciates that all the mentions of his campaign feature his departed wife and now some of us have come to associate her face with the injustice that cyclists face on the public roads. Did he really intend that or is "his" campaign really being masterminded by the anti-cycling brigade?

Only a little thing...Harry won Stage 1 of Tour de Yorkshire... #AllezHarry

Yeah I was going to ask how he won a stage in a race that hasn't happened yet. Fantastic news though - and means my club can now claim to be one that has produced a WorldTour rider which is fun.

It's a shame Tony Martin is going to Lotto N-L Jumbo next year; Katusha would have had a pretty good basis for a TTT team with Harry, Alex Dowsett and him.
