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.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
