PM me if my input is still needed. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8866#post-90335 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:14:56 +0000 Kirst 90335@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've just had a chat with the journalist about my three major incidents - one hit by a van and two offs on ice on the Innocent. I pointed out that it's all very well telling cyclists to get off the roads and onto cycle paths, but when the off-road paths are like skating rinks, what are you supposed to do? Go off-road and end up seriously injured on ice, go on the road and get squished by a Stonecraft van - excellent choice. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8866#post-90325 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 18:32:38 +0000 Kirst 90325@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm happy to talk. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8866#post-90319 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 17:39:45 +0000 chdot 90319@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@r</p> <p>Will sort soon. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8866#post-90317 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 17:14:50 +0000 recombodna 90317@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>chdot I PM'd you but it said your inbox was full.... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8866#post-90315 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 17:01:15 +0000 chdot 90315@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>c &amp; Bc you should have PMs with contact details. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8866#post-90313 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 16:56:57 +0000 Baldcyclist 90313@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I would do a written something, wouldn't want to be interviewed for TV.</p> <p>My bump at the start of the year almost took me off my bike permanently, although I wasn't badly hurt, the "What might have happened" really screwed me up for a good while. And then seeing the aftermath of the Murrayfield incident after only just getting back on the bike didn't help one little bit. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8866#post-90312 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 16:42:33 +0000 SRD 90312@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ps just cause custard has agreed to be interviewed doesn't mean we don't need the rest of you too, so don't be shy but drop a pm along if you'ld like to contribute. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8866#post-90311 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 16:41:01 +0000 SRD 90311@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>hi custard, you already have pm from me asking same question!

As you may know, this is something that has been raised by the Green MSP, Alison Johnstone.</p> <p>Do you know of any cyclist or pedestrian who has been injured recently in Scotland and would be prepared to talk to me about it and be quoted in the *****? If you don't know anyone, can you suggest anyone who might?</p> <p>"</p> <p>I can vouch for person. </p> <p>PM me and I'll put you in touch. </p>
