Did you note who produced it, so that they can be avoided?

You may have noticed in an earlier thread that a troll appeared with some
serious chips on her shoulders, but most cyclists here managed to give her a
roasting!

No organisation appears to claim responsibility. It's not
professionally printed, it's just come off of a normal office printer.
I'd guess that it was knocked together by a teacher at the school, if
not for the fact that it has a space for the child to write the name of
his school:

Thanks; hope you're right about the source, so it has a narrow
circulation.

If I ever get a tuit I want to trawl all the 'road safety' websites I
can find to see who is misleading the innocent in this way. I suspect
much of it is coming from organisations that also claim to promote
cycling.
