Realities of cycling

I've probably whinged about the inadequacy of bike lanes before, but this guy makes the point with a little more style. Enjoy the video.

  1. Dear Cameron,

    I have recently visited your blog and wanted to see if you would be interested in working with us at OilPrice.com

    My name is James Stafford and i run the editorial side of things. OilPrice.com provides information on the various energy and Alt energy markets alongside financial and commodity analysis.
    We receive on average 8,000 visitors a day – the majority of whom are from the USA, Canada and the UK.

    What I was wondering is if you would be interested in allowing us to re-publish certain pieces from your site?
    If you do agree we would provide a detailed bio at the bottom of every article letting people know about your site and service, along with a couple of live links back to your various pages, which would help your rankings in the search engines.

    Our visitors are “very” interested in the type of content you provide and I am convinced that not only would the articles be very popular, but that people would follow the links in your bio back to your site to find out more about you. Also your work would be exposed to a much wider audience who are very engaged with the material we publish.

    We are already working with sites such as: TheOilDrum, Enn.com, Forbes, Forex Pros and other alternative and energy news providers, who find we send quite a lot of traffic directly to them.

    I would like to mention that our site is undergoing an extensive re-build and in two months time our contributors will be represented in a much clearer fashion with their own contributor pages, Logos and contact details on every article and a much cleaner presentation.

    If you are interested in working with us please do let me know and we can hopefully start sending more targeted traffic to your site and letting our readers find out more about you.

    I look forward to hearing from you.

    Best regards,

    James Stafford

    P.S. We are also happy to add you to our syndication list and normally provide two to three articles a week that can be re-published.

  2. hmm ... my wife (from Finland) thinks they're a joke here too ... (and I agree), so this seems to indicate its some sort of thing confined to the colonies

    no wonder Australians are not coming back here for family lifestyle anymore.

  3. I recommend the arguments of John Forester about bike lanes. No-one is as genuine a cyclist as he is, and he disgrees with bike lanes period. He says wider road verges are the answer, with bikes seen by all as a legitimate user of roads and entitled to space. Bike lanes are always a "poor relation" provision.
