Until the next one...</p> <p>Media coverage is not everything. Politicians want to hear from ordinary voters...</p> <p>I can see a nice opening line for an e-maiul being "I attended Saturday's Pedal on Parliament demonstration, and I am writing to you to ask you to endorse the 8 point manifesto..." or something along those lines. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6336#post-67852 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 13:34:22 +0000 spytfyre 67852@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Here we go: "Yes more needs to be done to improve cycling safety, but I'd start with the cyclists themselves. 3 Recent cycling fatalities. 2 Of which understand to have been the cyclists own fault." </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6336#post-67848 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 13:28:26 +0000 Smudge 67848@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Had to laugh at commenter one, 2 cyclists went through a red under Police supervision, on a demo with 3k participants... I wish the cars were that well behaved, there'd be no need for a demo if they were!<br /> As to his other comment, beneath contempt and not worth responding to.</p> <p>Good to see the EEN slowly drifting away from the rabid anti cycle stance B-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6336#post-67841 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 13:22:43 +0000 spytfyre 67841@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Forwarded to the folks in the shot! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6336#post-67837 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 13:20:12 +0000 chdot 67837@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Is there more in the print version, or is that it?</p> <p>No, yes. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6336#post-67832 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 13:14:24 +0000 Dave 67832@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Is there more in the print version, or is that it? :P</p> <p>Nice headline though. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6336#post-67820 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 13:02:37 +0000 chdot 67820@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chdot/6981914636/"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7130/6981914636_3ac848c87b.jpg"></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.scotsman.com/news/scottish-news/top-stories/pedal-power-on-display-at-holyrood-1-2265376" rel="nofollow">http://www.scotsman.com/news/scottish-news/top-stories/pedal-power-on-display-at-holyrood-1-2265376</a></p> <p>ENews photographer managed to find the least yellow section too.
