Sadly the campaign website appears to have been taken down...

Who are we going to complain to now?

Does anyone know who instructed the PR firm? Or did they do their own PR?

I like the standard excused/bullshit rolled out on what was the campaign homepage.

We're very sorry for the offence caused by our efforts to create debate around the critical issue of cycling safety.

We're hugely pro-cycling and have dozens of people who ride into the agency every day. We wanted to do something that would highlight the plight of cyclists on the road, as well as open up a debate about some of the less smart practices a minority of cyclists follow, like jumping red lights.

Again, we're sorry for the offence caused, it won't happen again.

For which you can read "Some of us know how to ride a bicycle, does that make it alright?"

You can't knock the headline statement though.

Meh, no biggie. I'll save my anger for TFL, they're the ones actively trying to kill us.

Not at all. Just that it applies to all walks of life.
