Well, this is encouraging!

The responses are flowing in, and the responses are overwhelmingly in favour of cycling initiatives. Of the 33 of 61 candidates who have replied, 32 are split 50-50 between my "Enthusiastic advocate" and "Generally in favour" categories.

I'll keep chasing the non-respondents, and publish the names in each category shortly, as voting papers are being delivered from Fri 21 Sept.

And tell your friends and colleagues about this site! Email them, discuss it on social networking sites, ask them to spread the word. We have an opportunity to influence candidates and really make a difference this election. As we've seen in the past, once candidates are elected, entrenched attitudes are difficult to sway, despite logical arguments.

Now is the time for cyclists and potential cyclists (those who don't because it's perceived as too dangerous) to make their voices heard.
