The last week has been epic on the Blackfriars Bridge debacle. The LCC is leading with the campaign to get the bridge redesigned, or at the very least keep it 20mph.
Over 2000 people have signed the petition supporting the Assembly Motion demanding it be kept 20mph, but the LCC is taking things a step further - they want to show the public face of the people who want the Bridge to be made a better place so we can't be dismissed as crazy hippy cyclists. I think this is a great idea, and if we could get everyone on LFGSS to take their pic and email it it would really help - wouldn't it be great if we could span the whole of the Bridge with pictures of people who really care about this issue, to show it's an important one?
Here's the LCC page where you can send your pic and see the others:

And a bit of rabble rousing by me, if you need further convincing!...

I've sent my pic already, and some others have started to trickle through, but it would be fantastic if every corner of the London cycling scene could be represented. It's not exactly hard to take a picture with your camera phone and email it, is it?
