amazing photoshop....and just great satire.
Sounds like the article was commissioned by an editor and Alice Fisher was tasked with writing it. The Editor will decide the headline. personally I have to say it is much better to engage with journo's than not, because at least you may get your point across even if the article isn't all you wanted. the article was going to be written anyway and could easily have been sensationalist stuff about "Kamikaze fixie racing in london" or "poice clamp down on illegal bicycle races". If you engage you can do damage limitation and if you make the comparison with snowboarding and skateboarding, well they are pretty mainstream and accepted now. oh yeah Alice Fisher
