Dear ThisisBristol: It's not April 1st yet ....

Bristol's favourite tabloid website jumped the gun a bit tonight by letting their April Fools day 'joke' about a fake cycling story out of the bag a bit early:

Needless to say, in the digital world of the interweb, speed is everything and the offending boo-boo was quickly deleted. That's fast, but not as fast as this Bristol Traffic Blog correspondent's finger was in hitting Print Screen button for your enjoyment. Come to think of it, pretty unfunny 'joke' ?.

Thanks for posting this, but I'm not sure what kind of joke this is. Surely it's bloody obvious that cyclists are more road aware than drivers? So the statement is just a statement of the utterly bleedin' obvious?*

*Except to EP reporters.

Surely April 1st will see them "apologising" for all their previous?
