have just read pretty much all of this thread and it's great to see so much support for this cause. I'm really impressed by all the material everyones produced, especially the posters, they look awesome.
as may others i'm more than happy to help with this cause.
also the london paper article is really quite good (bizaarly for the london paper), i had no idea that those sensors mentioned in the article existed, they should definitely be fitted as standard for london streets.

The sensors bleep when an object or person gets too close to the lorry and Cemex driver Niall Corbett is convinced it has saved lives.
“The sensor went off as I made a left turn near Wembley Stadium six months ago. My eyes shot over to the mirrors and I slammed on the brakes. Like a bat out of hell, a cyclist whizzed by as if nothing had happened. I was left shaking. He was barely a metre away from certain death.”
