'What you did today did the opposite to help the environment': CPA president blasts Glasgow race protestors Also on the blog: Reaction to motorists complaining about police's plain clothes close pass op + Homer Simpson takes over the SL8 cycling
> Specialized officially launches the Tarmac SL8 — faster than the Venge, stiffer and lighter than the SL7, and all-new 'speed sniffer' head tube"But what about…?": Police force gets blasted with anti-cycling bingo for launching plain clothes Operation Close Pass cycle patrols
West Mercia Police's local policing team, Malvern Cops announced this weekend that they are introducing some plain clothes Operation Close Pass cycle patrols. They said they're hoping that publicising this activity will make "drivers think more carefully when passing any cyclist and not just uniformed police officers", adding that the patrolling cops will be armed with cameras to record the road users.
Now I know we have reported on motorists playing the anti-cycling bingo many-a-times, but it's surprising and disappointing to see the cops receiving the sort of backlash that would make anyone believe that all the work to encourage cycling never really happened and it's back to the Thatcherite 90s once again.applauded the Malvern Cops, saying that it was"an excellent move… Initiatives such as this can really help awareness and positively influence driving behaviours".
Meanwhile several other users also tagged their local police force to take inspiration for such initiatives and wondered if they would see officers cycling in plain clothes any time soon, with one person even pointing out how"easy" this initiative be to replicate.CyclingMikeyNo, that's completely wrong. If you want to overtake, go in the next lane. Many of us run video cameras and if you squeeze past in the same lane we'll report you for prosecution.
