Chris Boardman Quote

Post by RickH »

I thought I would share A snippet from Ned Boulting's "Final Word" at the back of December's Cycling Plus

Ned Boulting, quoting Chris Boardman, wrote: When they come at me now with the victim-blaming arguments, you know, 'Cyclists need to wear helmets, hi-vis, lights' it's like asking someone you're shooting at to wear another bulletproof vest..."

I for one am glad he hasn't given up on his campaigning after the tragic death of his mother.

The man is a giant in cycling,his arguments are well thought out and correct.
I hope his and his family's pain eases with time.
