This will be Jon Snow, the newsreader, who back in February on 'Richard
& Judy' (13th February 2006) 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. How long is it
going to take before this comes back and bites the CTC in its
organisational backside when the media picks up on how the CTC has a
president who thinks cyclists should be kept off the roads, yet at the
same time supporting Daniel Cadden, a CTC member who was fined for
cycling on the road. Mixed messages from the CTC, anyone?

People do change their minds, especially when presented with the correct
information in place of their previous misapprehensions. Let's hope
that the CTC change Mr. Snow's. In the meantime, write to seek
assurance that they do their very best to do just that.

I feel like handing in my CTC membership in disgust.

I'd wait until he shows evidence of keeping it up before taking such a step.

Pete.
