This stat "proves" that the cyclists must have been more reckless than any drivers, so the police should focus on dangerous cyclists. </p> <p>In a way, that has a certain genius stupidity to it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15655#post-202535 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 20:27:25 +0000 Greenroofer 202535@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The perfect clickbait storm - Lesley Hinds writing about cycling.</p> <p>I admire Lester Bongs for his/her patience with the trolls on EEN. I wouldn't have the energy to even try to engage with them. The results of the Sustrans survey are interesting, because they do allow the response to all the negativity to be 'you may not like this, but the majority of people in Edinburgh do'.</p> <p>...although I suppose the trolls might respond that they were never consulted about it... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15655#post-202520 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 16:21:22 +0000 condor2378 202520@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/opinion/lesley-hinds-more-and-more-get-about-by-bike-1-3924388" rel="nofollow">http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/opinion/lesley-hinds-more-and-more-get-about-by-bike-1-3924388</a></p> <p>I wouldn't bother with the comments.
