Hi all,
for those that could not make it, last Monday we had a speaker at the clubhouse to ask us on our experiences of riding in the local area. We had a great open discussion and below is an email from Kevin.
Hi Nigel,
I just wanted to e mail you to thank the wheelers for the opportunity to visit with you last Monday evening. I enjoyed the conversation regarding your members experiences out on the road and I will feed this back to Cycling UK for the meeting with Go Safe at some point to be decided.
To summarise your members were particularly interested in the following points.
Road safety and close pass appears to be getting worse.
The current status of operation snap.
Road surface conditions
Enforcement of existing rules of the road
Education of drivers
We talked about how as cyclists they felt they were better drivers around other cyclists
Incorporating bike ability training into the driving test.
The fact that given the type of riding they do cycling infrastructure may not offer them a direct benefit.
I asked in the event of me organising a Kidical. mass ride in the future, would the club consider assisting with marshalling.
I will definitely be in touch for the Kidical Mass ride early next year.

Thank again to the Wheelers and Mr Nigel Williams.
