When I posted there were only six comments and only one was anywhere near pro cycling.</p> <p>Road Raga: "#1 better that than a nation of obese brats, barely able to waddle to the bus stop let alone cycle, as we seem to be heading towards (half way there already!)." </p> <p>There are more comments now some of which are balanced, but the vain of hate is still there. </p> SRD on "Schools urged to get on their bikes and encourage cycling" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=506#post-3706 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 17:05:10 +0000 SRD 3706@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Come on! That's a very selective reading. When I posted it, there were 3 comments, and one of them was nicely pro-cycling. And there have been a number more too. Some of which sound oddly familiar....but hitting the EEN's comments 'tone' rather nicely. </p> Kim on "Schools urged to get on their bikes and encourage cycling" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=506#post-3704 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 14:43:21 +0000 Kim 3704@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I see the quality of comments are up to the usual standard:</p> <p>fresian: "So the eco nazi cycling lobby think it should be compulsory? Whatever happened to freedom of choice??"<br /> Ron D: "Will the schools be liable when the kids are killed by cars?"<br /> Big Fi: "They can do what they like,just keep them of the roads." </p> SRD on "Schools urged to get on their bikes and encourage cycling" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=506#post-3701 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 14:15:44 +0000 SRD 3701@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>From our friends at the EEN: <a href="http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/Schools-urged-to-get-on.6151516.jp">Schools urged to get on their bikes and encourage cycling</a> </p>
