What is it trying to achieve? It's Scotland's one long-running, national cycle promotion campaign and it seems to say:</p> <p>"Drivers, mind the oiks - if it's not too much bother"</p> <p>Of all the ways to promote cycling (health, environment, cost - hell, even the fact it is ridiculous fun) and they choose to remind potential cyclists they are at the mercy of drivers choosing to be nice to them.</p> <p>Am I missing something? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17869#post-253843 Tue, 27 Jun 2017 20:43:08 +0000 hunnymonster 253843@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It's an advert - seemingly paid for by TransportScotland &amp; CyclingScotland - BP are being paid to have adverts there (managed/chosen by Adnozzle if I remember the name of the company correctly) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17869#post-253842 Tue, 27 Jun 2017 20:16:54 +0000 SimonS 253842@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Spotted this when refuelling in Paisley yesterday....</p> <p><img src="http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj36/jodel_bucket/BB40AED8-8736-4551-85E4-79501EB5A571_zpsnga9h4sw.jpg"> </p>
