• So, here is an update:

    • I have stopped trying to organise elements of this campaign. It is my reading that while different individuals want to make a meaningful contribution, there is not enough collective buy-in to take on the larger elements such as a direct action, viral video or other aspects as proposed.
    • I have made several useful contacts - people have offered help with design, media / PR / Research / Concept or to implement ideas. I can happily pass this information on if someone wants to take this up (and the contacts agree!)


    If you want to take your own action, here is a list of things you can do to help:

    • http://www.pledgebank.com/cyclesafely
    • Write to, call, or arrange a meeting with your local councillors, assembly members or MP. Make a pledge to do this on the above link.
    • Write a letter to the editor in your local / regional / national paper
    • Take part in the elements of the LCC campaign - several LCC members have posted on this thread.
    • Contact companies with large lorry fleets operating in London - challeng them directly on what they are doing about cycle safety.
    • Help getting Ghost bikes up at fatality sites (look for Greasy Slag's posts on this thread).
    • Spread the message to your family, friends and work colleagues.
    • Other posters: add your ideas!

    Cheers

    JB
