Latest on the new Highway Code

The new edition of the Highway Code is about to be published and many cyclists feel that the new wording is not altogether cycling friendly.

Here is the link to the version that will almost certainly be published now:
Highway_Code_Draft.pdf

Here is the response to the consultation on an earlier draft:
Response_to_Highway_Code_Consultation_report.pdf

The Cycling Plus forum has been discussing the matter here

And if you, too, are not happy perhaps you might like to sign this online petition to the Government, in the hope that it might make a difference.

Hi Lisa,

Is it too late to register an interest in the raid on Dieppe?

I only found out about it at the tea stop opposite Hampton Court railway station during Saturday's ride when norman mentioned it in passing. Sounds fun.

Regards,

Kim Mitchell

Great idea to set up the blog for new and updated events and news - not only from the DA but from the members as well.

Date correction - the web page for the Hilly 50 says Saturday 18th. I think it should be Saturday 17th. Unless you mean it starts on Saturday and will take me until Sunday to walk up all those hills ;-) .

Hmm, good point about the date - I only remembered to change the year, not the date. Will fix when I get home and can update the page!
