I think that you are putting a very unfair spin on the book here.

It is published by The Stationery Office - a private publishing

endorse the content.

They don't.



Frankly I got slightly pissed off with other people saying that it was
endorsed by the Government - and being unable to support this
assertion.

I was in contact with the DfT on another matter and took the
opportunity to ask them if they endorsed the book or its content:


The reply from the Dft:


....... the DfT did not endorse the publication nor does it now. It
was written by a private individual with a cyclist's perspective.

The Stationery Office publishes private and commercial organisations'
books as well as government publications.

I hope this clarifies the position.
