It serves no purpose? I guess all the campaigning I have done has been a waste.. working with roadsafe london to make reporting videos to the police easy, working with police at looking how tfl operate around taxi complaints and pushing things forward, the numerous prosecutions, fines and section 59's where a total waste of time?
So much of a waste in time that I didn't talk about videoing and using the road on radio, tv and national cycling campaigns. oh wait, i did.
Too right. (And you've worked hard for this.)
I have just received today an invitation to First Bus's Bolton depot to discuss the issues that I've highlighted in my videos, to see what they are doing about it and discuss how they can improve. This wouldn't have happened if I couldn't draw the attention of the right people with video evidence of the problems. (I'll report back after the visit - assuming I don't get ambushed.)
It all takes too much time up, but it will be worth it if we can start to change the culture on the roads. What we need is more people joining the campaign, following the lead of people like Gaz, Magnatom and Mikey.
To Drago - Gaz summed it up, but I'll repeat what he said:
What exactly are you doing to make the roads better for cyclists in you area?
