London Tonight (ITV) did a special feature tonight (just after 6pm) on the re-issued guidance from the Ministry for Transport (Cycling Minister Robert Goodwill) on Pavement Cycling that was given to Stop Killing Cyclists following representations to the Minister for Transport Lady Kramer.



The Ecologist have also taken up the story:

Just bought a red fibre flare to go on the back of my helmet (as a result of applespider's recommendation)! My partner has one of those spokelit led lights - not bad, although I have seen brighter and more impressive ones but never been close enough to ask what they were.

I got mine for Christmas 2012. I used it every night (and the odd morning) for 40 minutes on flash and I changed the batteries in mid-April just as I started using it less as the nights got lighter. And I've just changed them again after wearing it from Sept onwards. I've got the full length one that takes AAs rather than the mini that takes lithiums. It lasts about 3 times longer than my little Knogs. I wouldn't call it battery hungry.


Katanita - I like them but think the hassle of removing would put me off.

The officer in charge of the Metropolitan Police's Operation Safeway has agreed to meet Stop Killing Cyclists, the week after next.

What issues re policing and cycling in London would you like to see raised?

On the general subject of lighting, not sure if this been discussed elsewhere, but there seems to be a bike lights arms race going on at the moment. On a number of occasions I have physically recoiled after being temporarily blinded by an ultra-bright light. It's good to be safe, but when other road users (I'm a cyclist) are put in danger, perhaps not so good. I think that Raul's comment on this thread is very sensible:

    • Just had this team/ company demolish a front wall, dig out the trees, build a wall, a place for the bins, landscape the front with stones and the liked and lay a new path and porch with a bull nose stone step. We are very happy with their work, diligent and attentive to detail, (it’s always difficult to know until things have bedded in for a few years but) good quality. Excellent communication. They’re very local, they know the East Dulwich clay, that the buildings and grounds are essentially mobile, and very dependant on the temperature and moisture in the ground. I think the key things for us - busy, always in and out, young kids etc - were we felt perfectly safe with them here, I don’t think they mucked about with pricing or quality once we were set (bits and bobs come up and were effortlessly sorted) and all in all, over the time it took for them to get the right quality (for them! the finish is good) we quite liked the team. We’d have them back in a moment, and are very happy to recommend them.
    • Sorry to hear that this is happening to your son. East Dulwich Grove doesn't fall into Dulwich Hill ward, it is split depending on the postcode it would either be Goose Green SNT or Dulwich Village SNT, you may check which one using the link below. On the website would also be the team and any events being held in the future. If it is an emergency please call 999 or non-emergencies 101. https://www.met.police.uk/area/your-area/
    • CIC is not the appropriate vehicle for a fund-raising intermediary.  CICs are for businesses that typically sell something or provide a service for social good  but are not for profit; a community cafe or arts centre, or an IT skills training centre for  unemployed people. it costs £65 to set up  a CIC, the scrutiny is less than for a full charity, and the administrative burden is pretty low if you don’t file accounts. It’s hard to prove a negative, but if you were trying to build a credible, positive case for giving money to street collectors for CityHive CIC, that might be a little harder still… tho thank you, Zahid for joining the Forum to give it a go.
