Looking for a keen London commuter cyclist for interview

[VictoriaHollup]

I'm looking for a keen London commuter cyclist that has been in a scary road accident and feels passionate about securing London roads. For a radio news piece on Norways biggest commercial radio station.

I'm a commuter in London and have been in a scary road accident (are there any other types?) and I feel passionate about making the roads safer for all, this includes pedestrians, cyclists, and the motorist to name but a few users. Im not sure I use the term 'securing' as it sounds like a take over bid. Passionate about having a city for the people rather than the motor vehicle would present my views more effectively.

London eh. Plenty of stuff goes on outside there too !

I got knocked off but it wasn't in London, still hurt though.

This might be of help, remembered reading it a while back she is a reporter of some type... If no help Google knocked off my bike in London loads of links.

That will be a language issue: it's common in Scandinavia and Germany (sometimes France too) to translate 'safety' as 'security', so I think the meaning here is 'making London roads safer.'

Is there life outside of London?

No nothing to see around here.

At least we don't have the police telling us off for not wearing high vis, I best Altura are loving it.

They don't tell me off either- in fact they dont speak to me at all (a bit like my wife)
Police silence

Hang on. I thought journalists on news programmes were supposed to find out and report fact rather than decide on the story then look for corroborating evidence?

I suggest you start by scouring the pages of this forum. You'll find plenty of people who haven't been involved in scary accidents and who don't like the idea of "securing" the roads.

Steady on, nothing wrong with interviewing a big city commuter as part of a story on, er, commuting in a big city.

We don't know what other research the reporter is doing to compile the overall piece.

We don't know, but I think we can guess....

I rode on the pavement today, a policeman drove past and didn't bat an eyelid.
