Why did Vincent (expletive deleted) Stops not come clean and absolve his mate of responsibility? </p> <p>Very poorly handled all around. </p> <p>We can just hope that it serves to make VS and Dave Hill look like the idiots they are, and no one will trust any stats they wheel out henceforth. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16533#post-223075 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 14:41:34 +0000 fimm 223075@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>In other news, religion of Pope and defecatory behaviour of bears confirmed...</p> <p>That 25% stat is going to be wheeled out for ever - though I guess its use will be like lines about "road tax" and red lights as an indicator that the speaker doesn't know what they are talking about... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16533#post-223061 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 14:07:41 +0000 chdot 223061@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Good news, messed with by selective misuse of 25% stat.</p> <p><a href="http://www.bikebiz.com/news/read/cycling-surge-in-london-due-to-protected-cycle-superhighways-says-tfl/019677" rel="nofollow">http://www.bikebiz.com/news/read/cycling-surge-in-london-due-to-protected-cycle-superhighways-says-tfl/019677</a> </p>
