    This has already been linked to in the TdF thread, but it's too good to miss:

    Fantastic film! The really depressing thing is Keith Brown did spend a few days in The Netherlands as suggested by Chris Boardman. He also had the luxury of being shown around by top Dutch cycling experts.

    His very next cycle related action - the launch of the Niceway Code!

  5. Yeah, I was thinking that same thing Morningsider. There have been study tours, but they just never seem to learn from them! Maybe that's just me being 'harsh'.... ;)

    "Maybe that's just me being 'harsh'"

    Hardly!

    Too many politicians think/say - 'but that's the Continent, this is the UK/Britain'.

    Which makes it doubly disappointing that the SNP follow the same line.

    Politicians are behind the times still thinking drivers = voters BUT key thing is they don't hear 'The Netherlands wasn't always like this'.
