Your chance to see what the HGV driver sees, or doesn't see (London)
From the London Cycling Campaign:
See and Be Seen around HGVs. June 26-27 Tuesday & Wednesday 7am - 7pm Your chance to see what the HGV driver sees, or doesn't see. Turn up anytime Two large lorries will be set up all day Tuesday and Wednesday in Trafalgar Square. This is your chance to get up close and stay safe. Sit in the driver's cab, see what you look like in the driver's mirror. Walk / cycle around the lorry, discover where you can be seen and where you cannot. Talk to the police and some drivers, explain what it's like cycling near a lorry. One objective is to educate cyclists by getting to understand lorries. The other objective is to educate lorry drivers and trainers. You can take part in video filming of your moves and reactions, tell them what you think and feel. These videos will be used to help train lorry drivers in London. The aim is to reduce the number of collisions and deaths. If a lorry hits a cyclist - it's the cyclist who hurts. This show is put on by the Commercial Vehicle Education Unit of the Met Police. They are working to make freight transport safer. = Please pass this information on to other cyclists . . . . .

Might not be a bad idea though - concentrating the mind and certainly better than a ride on a horse. |

Charlie Lloyd Cycling Development Officer London Cycling Campaign Sounds to me like a damn good idea. Should be a national roadshow -and just like Johnatthan Schneider said - it ought to involve others too. Sadly - little or fat chance. John Clayton www.calder-clarion.co.uk |

It would be great if someone could get some reasonable pictures of the event. Post them on the citycycling Flickr group.. ...d |

What are they giving away? A fluorescent yellow waterproof thing to cover your bag. Folds up into it's own pocket - it will be quite useful for me as my brompton bag is not completely waterproof and it's small enough and light enough that it can just live in the bag permanently.
