Require all petrol stations to have a free use bicycle pump.
Require all fuel filling stations, unless on a motorway, to have a well maintained, free use bicycle pump, compatible with schrader and presta valves.
To support existing cyclists, and to encorage more people to start cycling.
i had a vague idea a few years ago about this, and in 2020 i got around to starting a petition for it, but after that i didn't have time/energy to promote it and get it rolling; it's not too late!
there are loads of good reasons for this; i'm sure you here can imagine many; i've mentioned some on my twitter using the #bikepump2020 , but it's got no traction.
i posted a mention of it in our aqa; i'm just making this conversation now as a lazy sunday afternoon nudge for it.
if you can be bothered, write to your mp, tweet at a councillor, or dm a popular cycling media channel etc.
i may get around to printing and laminating some fliers to leave in bike shops, with qr codes leading to the sign page, and so on, or you could do that...
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >
Mention another user by @username
For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:
```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
