A nice afternoon
Dundee City Centre was closed for lots of kids to pootle around the
city centre. Halfords were doing a good turn in checking 800odd bikes for soundness, all kids registered got given a goody bag (fluo yellow with reflectives) containing a helmet, reflective wrap, snacks etc. It was a shame they didn't see fit to put in a copy of the childrens highway code for cyclists (if such a thing exists). Anyway it was a good chance to get loads of kids on bikes and having fun. It might be interesting to see if they could run a criterium on the closed course.. that would be entertaining. ...d |

I have penned a letter to the local rag complimenting them on the event, but being surprised that a 'cycle safety event' didn't include a copy (which they could have got for the price of a phone call), or even mention anything about avoiding accidents. ...d |

My pleasure. Easy to find the info because I have a bundle of them from Hants CC for my cycle training class. |
