two in five collisions involve a bicycle
Pc Mark Pilling, from Abingdon's Road Policing Department, said: "We are
being kept busy. We tend to find once the clocks go back people don't immediately light their bike up, so this is more than anything a reminder to people. Forty per cent of all collisions in Oxford involved a pedal cyclist." http://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/you...y_operat ion/ |

Seeing as how you can buy a set of cycling lights for under £6 (delivered) from Amazon, it's very tempting to go to Oxford and cycle without lights just to be offered such a good deal from the police. Why not just do the sensible thing and buy the bloody lights in the first place? |

Usual one cyclists use www.imadeitup.com -- Dave - Cyclists VOR. "Many people barely recognise the bicycle as a legitimate mode of transport; it is either a toy for children or a vehicle fit only for the poor and/or strange," Dave Horton, of Lancaster University, wrote in an interim assessment of the Understanding Walking and Cycling study. "For them, cycling is a bit embarrassing, they fail to see its purpose, and have no interest in integrating it into their lives, certainly on a regular basis." |
