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!

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.

    • Farmers aren't being gifted anything; Their heirs are being gifted millions of pound worth of income generating assets by chance of birth. An estate that they have done nothing to earn. Most farms worth under £3m will still end up being passed on tax free. Those that do have to a pay inheritance tax will do so at just 20% on that part which is over the threshold (rather than the standard 40%), and they'll have 10 years to do so (usually it is payable immediately). So it is still preferential terms for those being gifted a multimillion pound estate So to repeat my previous question... Why do you think people coming into a massive, unearned windfall shouldn't pay any tax, but a nurse who works hard for everything they earn, should pay tax?
    • We recently used Jan at Silver Fern for some fencing and driveway works, he also built a side return shed which is now a water tight space for storage.    Would certainly recommend speaking to Jan for gardening or landscaping needs. http://www.silverfernlondon.co.uk [email protected]        
    • And the latest shocker, Inflation this morning was 2.3% up from 1.7& the previous month, a 0.6% increase in a month, that is dreadful. So Robber Reeves plan is already working (NOT). Inflation has begun to increase and will continue to do so, I predict the next set of unemployment figures will show a rise. Neither of these things can be blamed on the last Govt, it's down to the inept budget and impact it is having already.
    • Andrews and Arnold are brilliant https://www.aa.net.uk/. If there's any problems someone picks up the phone on the 2nd or 3rd ring and several times they have rung me immediately after I sent an e-mail. As they are primarily B2B, their support is excellent and there are a lot fewer miscommunications with OpenReach. Go to their website and enter your postcode which will show you exactly what type of broadband is available in your area.
