Default CTC error

According to the copy of Cycle which arrived this morning, Jon Snow is
the
new CTC president, having been invited to take the role once Phil Liggett
steps down.


Well that's great news, surely. A real (and high profile) cyclist
helping to represent the views of real cyclists to the wider public.

What more could you want? Somebody who is highly controlled by the
organisation, a puppet if you like?


How about someone who hasn't gone on national TV in February of this year on
'Richard & Judy' (13th February 2006) and admitted he tells people not to
take up cycling as "it's too dangerous out there" and that cyclists should
be kept separate from traffic on separate facilities, so promoting the
erroneous view that cycling is inherently dangerous. The CTC will now have a
president who has publicly said he tells people not to take up cycling.
Personally I'd much rather the CTC has a president who did not do that as
part of the role of the CTC is to actively encourage people to take up
cycling - not attempt to dissuade them of it.

Cheers, helen s
