Halfords survey 59% call for cycle number plates.

JFGI?

I had to google the acronym first.


There's no (apparent, I skimmed) mention of methodology in the report. Where do you think he would find it?

(about 70% of the UK population have a driving licence, but only 54% of those surveyed, so it doesn't look at all random)

Though google took me to pressreader, with this unsurprising by disheartening result.

Oh dear, more depressing reading from the anti brigade. Cyclists as road rebels? what like Hell's Angels on Cannondales? Maybe that would have the average Daily Fail reader locking up their daughters or something.

That's the yougov front page. There's nothing about methodology there. But at least now I know what you were suggesting we google.

That takes me to https://yougov.co.uk/about/panel-methodology/

But I still have no idea of the criteria they used to select the 2000 for Halfords, because the number of licensed drivers is so different from the general population, it's doesn't seem representative transport wise, at least.

Yes, opinion pollsters use flawed methods. This should come as no surprise to anyone who has followed the last couple of UK general elections.

Do you really think the average Daily Fail reader could tell a Cannondale from a Chippendale?

They probably would keep their daughters away from both.

How did we get from number plates to antique furniture?

I wouldn’t have thought turkeys are going to vote for Christmas.

I just liked the idea of Hell's Anglers on either type of Chippendale, but couldn't find a picture of either or find time to mock one up.

I wouldn’t have thought turkeys are going to vote for Christmas.

Neither did I but.... ooooh, shall we say Trump this time?

I am one of the few on here who has ridden my bike with a number plate

from 1971 onwards I lived in Belgium and had these natty little things https://img0.etsystatic.com/197/0/7696549/il_570xN.1301861392_ec09.jpg

I definitely had the 1975 Brabant one as I lived in Brabant and bought my first full sized bike. On which I promptly fitted a very natty pair of Motocross handlebars. The opposite of a TT bike
