That't it, if every cyclist did this only 3 or 4 times a year we just
might have a chance of getting more attention paid to cyclists needs.

As pessimistic and cynical as it might sound, I genuinely believe that
this will only result in you wasting your own time.

Our Government doesn't care about public opinion, our Local
Authorities care even less.

If you happen to have the resources required buy the time and
influence of a few MPs with some fat directorships or campaign
donations then you may well make a difference. If not, then you could
probably achieve just as much by banging your head against a brick
wall.

I think the best bet is to support the CTC with an annual membership
and then just enjoy your cycling the best you can.

Life is richer when you have as little involvement with career
politicians as possible. Ignore them and their attempts to interfere
in your life - resistance is not futile, but letter writing is
