Given the issues involved, I am reposting the link to this petition as it has got lost amongst the trivia. Well done to those who have signed so far. So, if you are interested in helping to reduce cyclist deaths caused by HGVs, then (if you haven't already done so) please sign the London Cycling Campaign's petition: here.


It really does only take a few secs.


Merci.

THANK YOU for that B_S...and no, I hadn't seen it. It didn't shock me though as I am aware of the problem, though I suspect there are many cyclists out there who have no idea of just how large that blind spot is...


Basically, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER undertake a lorry. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, cycle along the inside because, for example, you intend turning left. In the absence of suitable positioning - just remain behind it - it's no shame. It's just not worth it..


I think your link is a good one to repeat every so often - it's amazing how, even amongst cylists aware of the dangers, how tempting it is for them to put them at the back of their minds when, for example, running late.


Gives me the shivers.

The Lying Toad.... of course.


Hey, without going through all the threads, has the subject of bike tyres and wet drain covers been discussed?


How many children, adults and seniors have fallen... slipped because of these?! It's not rocket science, simply have a cover with a back-fill of tarmac etc.. As well as cycling, I use my motorbike every day and see so many bikes slipping as they take a bend and then ...... bosch!

Oh of course! How dense am I? LOL!!! I was being facetious. I actually thought it stood for "till later then". Muhahahahahahahaha! That'll teach me...


Erm...bike tyres and drain covers? No I don't recall them being discussed...but be my guest...in fact, I insist!

** Next cycle ride **


Statues, Monuments & Sites along the Thames.


This will be the easiest one, up to Tower Bri, head along the Thames (North Side) to Battersea Bri, then a coffee at the Windmill on Clapham Common.


It was going to be the old London Prisons, but it had the same interest as the Bank of England - 2% ?!



Best,


McCabe

The Toad speaks:


Do you know any casual cyclist's who live in or around Islington? There will be another group set-up there for early 2011, Islington Council are impressed with E'dulwich Cycle Group and looking to arrange a meeting to have the same operation.

      I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.

      By HeadNun · Posted

      I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.

      does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.
