But can'[t see the point to a book. suspect it is one of those things that they now feel the need to do. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2813#post-30015 Tue, 26 Apr 2011 15:28:46 +0000 DaveC 30015@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks for pointing out the Grauni ad blogs, I hadn't seen them before. I like the video to the Dutch systems from 7th April. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2813#post-30010 Tue, 26 Apr 2011 15:16:21 +0000 steveo 30010@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>As long as they don't copy the comments section... I'll still not buy it but that havering on any new comments section doesn't deserve to be preserved. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2813#post-30008 Tue, 26 Apr 2011 15:14:46 +0000 DaveC 30008@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I hope the book isn't just another 'cut n paste' of the blogs = money spinner. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2813#post-29999 Tue, 26 Apr 2011 13:50:57 +0000 SRD 29999@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>i notice they actually have a book coming out. not sure i think the level of writing is quite up to that. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2813#post-29997 Tue, 26 Apr 2011 13:24:35 +0000 chdot 29997@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"barrage of complaints"</p> <p>Must have missed those.</p> <p>I thought MS 'gave up' because he was in NY. If you <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/mattseaton">follow him on Twitter</a> he seems his time <em>running</em> or <em>marshalling</em> races.</p> <p>The other main G cycling writer, former Edinburgh cyclist <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/helenandchips">Helen Pidd</a>, is currently in Berlin.</p> <p><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/bike-blog" rel="nofollow">http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/bike-blog</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2813#post-29995 Tue, 26 Apr 2011 13:10:08 +0000 SRD 29995@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I notice that since a barrage of complaints about the bike blog being two London focussed (also complaints about the New York stories by Matt Seaton), that there ahve been fewer posts, and none by Seaton. </p> <p>Is there any industry scuttlebutt on what has happened?<br /> Or, have they just run out of things to write about? </p>
