got my final project proposal approved today 
"Cycle safe:
Young people often get to university and find themselves with a bit less money and needing to travel greater distances without being able to beg a lift from a parent or a bus headed in the correct direction and so resort to cycling, cheap, easy and convenient.
unfortunately 16,561 cyclists were killed in 2005 on Britain’s roads, partly due to driver attitudes to cyclists and not knowing how to drive near them but also these new cyclists riding, possibly for the first time in a city centre and not knowing how to move with the traffic and be seen.
other things these new cyclists may not be aware of is how best to secure their bike, resulting in it being stolen or parts stolen, leaving a number of half bikes locked to railings round university.
University’s around the country and ‘Cycle Safe’ want to put together an ongoing campaign advising both drivers and cyclists of how to use a city centre safely through web, print and other media that is accessible and interactive. "
basically its a friendly resorce where people can look up how to tackle a bit of their route safely, how to fix minor problems with their bikes (eg, replace a cable or brake blocks - i'm not sheldon brown!) how to choose a bike and lock it so that they keep hold of it, basically the FAQ's we get on here often.
so, where can i get a copy of cyclecraft from cheaply?
what are people's thoughts on it?
