cycling

[ronyrash]

At last im on my way to Manchester cycling/ busing from Edinburgh.After a few attemps which i had to abandon due to he weather and very hilly terrain.oots

[ronyrash]

im still in Carlisle.in the library[open alternate days mornings and afternoons.Edinburghs libraries are not open at all.]I will not cycle south thru the lake district, very pretty and also very hard cycling.It seems to be flatter along the coast,so il be heading off for Workington.Taken at a liesurly pace everything developes a facination.Dont know when ill get to Manchester.When i get their i intend
to post a "Tryst"  meeting place and time oot

[celeste]

Don't overdo it

[ronyrash]

It was wishfull thinking. i could avoid the hills by getting to the coast road to avoid the lake district.The A 595 out of Carlise was horrendus with heavy traffic.I got off it and took the A 6 to Penrif,where i am now.Weather i mke it to Manchester remains to be seen.
the British roads are an absolute disgrace

[celeste]

Don't know about the roads, you should see some of the pavements!


Hope we don't have to send a search party out for you - why avoid the Lake District?

[ronyrash]

The lakes are magnificent but very,very hilly.anyway im back in Edinburgh.ill try again next year.ttfn R R

Campaigners are trying to ban the use of the term ‘Lycra louts’ to describe speeding cyclists – and even stop the likes of Jeremy Clarkson poking fun at them.
Under proposed media guidelines, abuse of cyclists would be treated as a ‘hate crime’ and they would get the same protection as domestic violence victims and refugees.
Newspapers would also be gagged from stating if an injured cyclist was not wearing a helmet or high-vis clothing.
Instead, they would be urged to shame ‘criminal’ motorists for accidents involving bicycles.


 A hate crime? Are these idiots serious?

  Regrettably   inexperienced people forming groups will always be taken over by criminal elements, cycling groups are particularly vulnerable to to this kind of pressure,inducing them to press for laws that will tie cycling down. And do a great deal of harm.Cycle safety is well covered by the Highway Code oot

Another blow against free speech

Does that mean we can no longer shout ''Get off and milk it?''
