Mainly because they <em>were</em> musings of someone who has clearly seen a lot of the contradictory messages about the subject. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3437#post-35855 Wed, 20 Jul 2011 11:31:49 +0000 MeepMeep 35855@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I thought they were pretty balanced musings too, though the article was rather pointless in places.</p> <p>As for the comment... Whether genuine or not, the poster appears to have completely missed the mark of the article. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3437#post-35853 Wed, 20 Jul 2011 11:10:03 +0000 Min 35853@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"No comment from me on whether that comment left at the bottom is right or wrong, just the Daily Wail attitude it portrays."</p> <p>Good point. It was probably put in to get readers frothing like their normal "muslims painted my swimming pool black" sort of keech. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3437#post-35851 Wed, 20 Jul 2011 11:04:43 +0000 Min 35851@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Suprisingly balanced for the Mail. They must have posted it by accident. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3437#post-35850 Wed, 20 Jul 2011 11:02:23 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 35850@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>If your child was falling to the ground from a bike I would want them to be wearing a helmet.
