-So I'm super motivated and pumped to work on a flyer.
-It is important.
-I don't believe it's doing too much at once to say both sides of the story. In fact I think that's pretty frickin' important. On top of that, I think it's pretty easy to do.
-While of course it'd be great to live in the land of no lorries, that is not my intention here. Nor is it my intention to only blame HGV's. My intention would be to make it clear that cyclists need to ride safe and HGV's need to drive safe. If you talk about either side independently you risk losing at least 50% of the people involved in the situation and chances are not much will improve.
-HGV drivers are easy to find...they are the ones in the big trucks, so no worries there. I don't think the gruffalo or myself nor any like minded individual would have problems finding them.
-I also support something a bit more direct action as well.
-I will also help with Ghost Bikes, I think they are incredibly poignant.
