Join A Cycle Club Please

So the nation’s gone cycling bonkers.

This is great.

Really, this is awesome.

There’s a ‘but’ coming isn’t there?!

BUT (told you!)

We need to ride safely on the road.  No matter who you are you are almost certainly:

1. Not immortal (i.e. a car can kill you)

2. Loved by someone and/or a role model for someone (so wear a bl@@dy helmet)

We need to ride better on the roads if we are going to keep motorists happy and as the number of cyclists increases this will get worse unless we improve our road handling.  Now, we could teach you but there is a way that is so much more effective.

Let’s cut to the chase.  Join a club.  Please.

Click on The British Cycling Logo below then take a look at 2 things:

1. It is definitely worth joining British Cycling – have a read when you click on the link

2. Once you done that look along the top tabs and click on “clubs”.  Now you can pop in your postcode and see what clubs are in you area, you might be surprised how many.  Drop us a line if you’re confused.

So, for safer and more rewarding cycling, click the logo below:

By the way, cyclists aren’t that bad on the road, we just want to keep it that way.

In fact 2 of us were out Saturday in single file with a car behind us and a horse coming the other way.  The car went full throttle through the gap as the “lady” horse rider shocked everyone with how many expletives she knew at the top of her voice.  Needless to say the motorist didn’t do much to help the reputation of motorists and the horse “lady” ? Well…….
