A Number 10 petition has been set up to make it law for vehicle drivers to give
cyclists a three foot minimum clearance when passing - whatever one feels about
how enforceable a law like this would be, it does actually put it in the drivers
mind that three foot is the minimum (not 6" Mr Astra driver on a blind
bend!!!!). Whereas, the Highway is quite ambiguous on this - it just says
sufficient space, which to me is anything down to where it does not cause the
cyclist to fall off.

If you feel strongly about this please sign and email on.

Hi gang,

Will be heading out into the darkness at 6.30pm. Meeting at Westgarth Ave as per
usual.

Here's a final reminder that our club AGM is tonight (Monday 16th
November) at the Eric Liddell Centre, 15 Morningside Road from 7pm.



Although our club president Ken Whitson is currently on holiday in
Borneo and therefore won't be able to attend he has finally managed to
e-mail me a copy of his presidential report. You can read this online
(along with the rest of our AGM papers) at

Regards,

Jonny
