Cyclists are just nicer people! If this has to have a few down sides, so be it.

And yes, I now have to agree with Jaded, cyclists need more vociferous voices in these 'debates'.

Yes. I thought the CTC chap put some good points across. But the motoring knob was allowed to ignore them and go back to his own agenda. The CTC chap should have been more forcefull IMO. The Radio presenters seemed to side with the motoring knob.

No need for unpleasentness. Just a bit more forcefullness and reasonably explaining why the motoring knob was talking rubbish.
The CTC bloke sounded like a drip who could be bullied even if he was talking sense. We want someone like Paxman IMO.

this, along with a general lack of direction, is the ctc's problem.

That is also often a big problem! The host of any debate can have a massive effect.

That is what media training and preparation is for. Given the exposure the CTC gets they should have this sown up.
It is simpler than it looks.
