  The list of candidates for the LCC board of trustees includes some familiar faces who need all the support we can muster. The additional question to all candidates is interesting.

  As Carlton Reid has pointed out, with Indegogo crowdfunding these people get the cash even if they don't raise enough to design and build a helmet. A folding helmet that meets EU standards is a tough ask.

  Any main route that's not safe for someone who is (say) 15 or 65 to cycle.>

  Hey, I'm over 65 and I cycle on every road in Hackney and I haven't died yet - problem solved.

  While we are bashing each other with obscure research I recently came across this selection showing that the increase in casualties at junctions on segregated routes cancels out the reduced casualties on links.

  It seems that Tony Martin is miffed that LCC excluded him from their local candidates database at the may elections. I think he is trying to stir up publicity hoping for a confrontation. Best to ignore him. Vote for anyone/everyone else.

  The strapline is:

  but Laura never actually mentioned the word "Lycra". Or the word "aggressive". That's dishonest reporting.
  I think she meant to say "helmeted"
