One to the letters in this week's issue gives a link to a site (not looked at it yet - but could be of interest

www.bv.com.au

It's about Australia's "Share The Road" campaign - and it seems the driving contingent amongst Oz cyclists (strewth - fair go - mate ) have designed a sticker for their own cars - yellow sign saying "Watch Out For The Cyclist!"

CW say there are some similar stickers from www.givecyclistsroom.co.uk

Quick shufty at the Oz site - refreshingly sensible

Blimey!

CW higfhlights "Give Cyclists Room" this week and they point out this also caused one reader toi reminisce ....over a campaign from 1981 run by the excellent French Cycling Mag (Miroir du Cyclisme") - a fave with those relatives of mine..

Bernard Hinault - the ace of his day was behind a similar sticky -

"Soyez sympa - pensez aux cyclistes"

(BE Nice - THINK of the Cyclists)

So nothing new here - but as with COAST - these should be added to the THINK! series.

Simple messaging works -

We all remember "Clunk Click" /"Weaver Bird" /"Amber Gambler" / "Don't Dazzle - Dip" and they worked
