Yes. No idea what it's about tho'. Sorry.

It does - you need to click on the Roadcc link to find out what it is about, though ...

 

[Sara_H]

The road.cc link is 3 years old. I suspect there is new news.

Looks like you'd better stay up then

 

[vernon]

The suspense isn't killing me enough to stay up and be underwhelmed by the news.

The news will still be news in the morning! (It will just be old news rather than new news ...)

The gist of it seems to be that the ASA insists any cyclist featured in an ad must be wearing a helmet and riding in the gutter. http://www.bikebiz.com/news/read/cy...-gutter-wear-helmets-ad-watchdog-rules/015951

Apparently cars should not be required to cross over the centre line of the road when overtaking a cyclist.

If you decide to write to the ASA, you must ask for a reply..........they only tell you that after you have sent your comment.

Something must be done . Dunno what, though.

MOD NOTE:
There are a couple of threads about this running in the Cafe, so I will close this one, re-title the other one to make it clearer and keep things a bit tidier.
