Don't lose focus of the original email or what happened this morning.
The spirit shown in the first few pages of this thread is inspirational, and whilst we have momentum and the incident is fresh we should push it as far as possible.
Spoke cards are a great idea. A grass roots campaign to raise awareness amongst the wider populace of cyclists of the dangers of trucks.
Stick to that... don't lose focus, squabble or become distracted by too many differing goals. We can totally achieve that one goal with great success and create enough publicity from it to help raise awareness.
I'm happy to throw some money towards creating the spoke cards. And I'm sure others would donate too. Let's act now, whilst we have momentum.
Then, let's spread 5,000 of them amongst 500 core members of the forum. We have those numbers, it can work easily. Each person only has to place 10 spoke cards. Again, a small and achievable target for each person, though the target of 500 people doing it is high (but we have 2,000 active members, so only 1/4 of the active user base).
Don't put swear words on the cards.
And make it clear that they're for cyclists... if they fall off on the road they should still state their purpose out of context.
Just my 2p.
Very happy to donate!
I also thing Mumblers [sic] link for the TFL financial backing site is genius.
As stated in a previous post, if we manage to get that kind of number of cards into circulation then i am certain i can get someone at Metro to cover it.
