Article about Cycling under "Fashion" in Local Rag

An interesting article appeared in the "fashion" section of the
Northern Echo about encouraging cycling - particularly aimed at
teenage girls. It would appear that a film is being shot in Darlington
aimed at encouraging new cyclists onto the roads. I found this to be
an interesting approach to encouraging cyclists back on the roads.

See http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/vid...al/60150/read/ for
the article plus video link. In case anyone is wondering about
pavement riding apparently shown on the video - I think it's all been
shot in the Pedestrian/Cycling only area of the town centre where it's
perfectly legal.

Inspirational. Makes me think I should take it a bit easier on the
regular commute and just take time to look around more. I wonder how
much longer it'd actually take me if I didn't dash from red light to
red light as fast as possible?

Probably not much. You might also have time to notice women on their
bikes and flirt mildly with them.
