Hello, this is Peter from the Guardian bike blog, venturing over into unfamiliar territory. I've just spotted this thread and thought I should correct one fallacy above: we don't get "targets" for page views or comments. In fact, the entire blog is run by a handful of people in whatever spare time we have during our main jobs (I'm a news reporter for example), on virtually no budget. We'd love to cover more subjects in greater depth but just don't have the time.
I should also add: in retrospect, maybe "ferociously snooty" was misjudged. Sorry. Comments like that only add to the endless, artificial and pointless sub-division of cyclists into competing tribes, something I criticise other people for doing.
