Cycling incidents envolving vehicles on the roads - Carte Blanche

[kingalton]

This is a great idea and getting carte Blanche to do a story on the problem would be super..

I have really been thinking about it and there is an issue, carte Blanche reaches a relatively small audience.. By small, I mean select..

 

We need to get SABC and Etv. Involved, the masses need to be educated as well.

 

The guy that took me out on the weekend, wasn't part of the "carte Blanche audience"

 

It's the same as twitter and Facebook, it reaches a lot of people, but not all walks of life..

 

Take the "just a second" campaign and the campaign I am trying to start today "I can drive while..." Most of the people following these twitter handles are cyclist or friends and family of cyclists.. (I may be wrong, but it just seems that way) people that already have a vested interest. I know Dangle is doing a great job with "just a second" with the radio interviews etc - so don't get me wrong..

 

We need to get non cycling "celebs" or "businesses" to endorse these initiatives, they need to relay the messages to the general public. Insurance companies come to mind, they are directly involved and reach a massive target audience.

 

It's almost like we are preaching to the converted at the moment..

 

Please don't get me wrong, I am not dissing any initiatives currently out there, I just think we need to try get it OUT there..

 

I don't have all the answers, but if anyone wants to sit down and come up with possible solution, I am wiling to assist and brainstorm...
