Surrey Police targeting anti-social cyclists
Officers in Woking will be targeting anti-social cyclists next week
following concerns raised by Maybury residents about people cycling on footpaths. As a direct result of the concerns raised, the local team will be joined by colleagues from the Sheerwater and Byfleet Safer Neighbourhood Teams in patrolling Walton Road, Maybury Road, College Road and Monument Road next Thursday (7 April) and issuing fixed penalty notices to anyone seen cycling on the pavement. The issue was raised as a neighbourhood priority at a recent police panel meeting. Davina Keogh, Police Community Support Officer for Maybury, said: "We have listened to our residents and understand this is an issue that affects a lot of people. We hope to educate and enforce the message that cycling on footpaths is not acceptable." http://www.surrey.police.uk/media/ne...5&itemID=13830 |

It is good to see that such anti-social behaviour is being addressed more and more. I am a cyclist myself - but it really is time that something was really done about problems caused by cyclists. |

SRAM Red Hydraulic discs and rim brakes: spy shots land!
QUOTE:
We told you it was coming, and here it is. Hot on the heels of the official SRAM Red launch at the very start of the month, we've managed to get our hands on some images of what we all suspected was coming: a SRAM Red hydraulic disc brake. First pics of the hydraulic rim brake that SRAM had confirmed was in the line-up have also surfaced. If you came over yesterday you'll have seen the new kit in all its glory; today you'll have to make do with some esoteric blurred versions of the pics. Turns out the Red hydraulic disc and rim brakes were embargoed . Who knew? Not us, since we weren't at the launch and SRAM didn't let us know about the embargo. Ah well. Anyway, at the request of SRAM we've taken them down for now. If you want to see the original pics, your friendly local image search engine might be able to help. So what's to know? Well, we had a look at the new groupset in the hands of Clive from Glory Cycles in South Carolina in a Youtube video; that vid has now gone private but one of the things it pointed out was that there was plenty of space for a hydraulic master cylinder in the brake hood, and even a possible exit port for a hydraulic hose. The pages of the Red catalogue mention an 'all new master cylinder' but there's no pic of it, so we're going to assume it's tucked away within the hood. Sram said in their Red press releases that they'd made the front of the hoods higher, but said it was for ergonomics and in response to user demand. That might be only half the story, it seems - maybe they just needed a bit of extra room... http://road.cc/content/news/52299-sr...spy-shots-land -- Simon Mason |

Maybe they should have started by educating their own officers? Clearly, that officer understands the limited comprehension of members of his target audience and trims the terminology when issuing his warning to them. |

Just someone that can read, and can be arsed to look it up:http://www.cyclecraft.co.uk/digest/pushing.htmlhas a bunch of relevant references and precedents. Are you saying that cyclists are allowed to cycle on the pavements of Maybury road, etc? |
