Last night we complained about the ASA decision to ban the Scottish Nice Way Code advert, as described at:
http://news.stv.tv/scotland/262030-cycling-scotland-advert-that-showed-cyclist-without-helmet-banned-by-asa/
The ad had a lot of complaints from cycling groups for not asserting cyclists rights enough, and your decision gives a clear message that cycling is dangerous and we should not be entitled to share the road.
Cyclists in Holland do not wear helmets because drivers give them room, respect and responsibility to share the road. Your ban flies in the face of gradual progress for healthy, sustainable travel.
At mid day today, 30th January 2014, the ASA rescinded the ban!
