The Guardian's bike blog

Their blog is a bit conventional, it has rehashed loads of done to death topics about commuting and cycle safety over and over again.

... maybe they could actually make some effort and write a piece about ethical living aspect of cycling as it is an ethical living blog. For example,

[] They could examine the false economy and environment impact of shit bikes/bike components (i.e. the environmental impact of cheapy shit parts getting flown from overseas to here and only lasting a few months).
[] The environmental impact of factories which make our frames and components, does that damage offset "the good" we are doing (whether intentional or not) by not using a car to commute to work.

So far they have only had one piece examining anything close to these topics and it hasn't seemed to be revisited.

What you mean actually doing some journalism and not relying in press releases and citizen journalism? I wish.

Good suggestions, email them to one of the reporters (not bloggers).
