The Times Cycling Campaign

Something in the back of my mind is saying that the same concerns have been expressed by other minority groups of people who have been discriminated against or otherwise found themselves to be at the bottom of the food chain.

I'm not particularly politically active, not a militant cyclist, but like hell I'll be walked all over because I might make things worse. Cyclists are already bottom of the food chain, beneath pedestrians in the minds of many drivers, we've got fuck all to lose by standing up for ourselves.

Perspective... cyclists aren't walked all over. Do you really want compulsion around things like number plates, high viz & helmets, as a direct result of emotive reporting of perceived dangers?

Is that what you want, cos that's what'll (maybe) happen... [/paulwhitehouse]
