CTC Highway Code Victory

Posted on Wednesday 30 May 2007 by Nick Bloom

For those who wonder ‘what the CTC ever did for us’, see the extract below from the CTC website:

Campaign Update

Following a high-profile campaign from CTC, the Government has agreed to amend the Highway Code to improve cyclists’ safety and to encourage drivers to take more care around vulnerable road users.

In total over 40 rules have been changed to the benefit of cyclists.

Washout

Posted on Sunday 27 May 2007 by Nick Bloom

Sunday May 27th, steady rain from first light, worse predicted to come - a washout for wimps. So, just to make you all jealous, Bob Davis has went us some pictures from his recent trip to France with Geoff Thomas. Which provide a timely advert for our jerseys - orders now being taken for the next batch, e-mail secretary@centrallondonctc.org.uk

Never mind, Nick, that’s more or less where Inez, the Giraffe, the She-wolf, her cub, Chocolate Sue and Simon and I will be this time next week.

Tee hee
