Writing an anti-cycling column? Read this first | Peter Walker | The Guardian

Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

Maybe it’s just the end-of-year effect, with ideas running low and a couple more commissions to fulfil. Or perhaps it’s just the traditional news lull over the festive period, obliging newspaper columnists to dig into their own experiences and prejudices. Whatever the reason, we’ve been somewhat spoiled recently with slightly silly opinion pieces about cycling. . . .

I’m not here to pull apart the particular failings of these columns. Better minds than mine have done that on social media. My mission today is more one of overly optimistic hope. Below is a list of questions I’d like the next columnist embarking on such a piece to consider before they put fingers to keyboard.

MoBikeFed comment: Walker suggests some excellent questions for anti-cycling columnists to consider before launching their attack. We can only hope that they will do so . . .
