Top tips for drivers

really like this...wish the current "Think cyclist" campaign could have spoken with you guys to get their message across better.

Biggest fail of all with the Think Cyclist campaign... The only place I have actually seen a poster is on the tube.

We did speak to them and have given them our Top Tips. They claim that their campaign is based on evidence and focuses on the main reasons why people have been injured in London. Our Top Tips are about what drivers can do to make it even more pleasant to ride in London

I think having the driver/cyclist tips on each side is great.
Not only does it lessen the feeling of being preached at /blamed, it also sends the message that you are both a driver and a cyclist. You get handed one because you drive, but hey, you probably cycle too (and vice versa) so the other side's helpful too.

This.

Obvious troll is obvious.

Cycle Training UK has produced a leaflet with some top tips for drivers about sharing the road with people on bicycles. They could be a useful way of communicating some points if you feel a driver could have driven better, without engaging an a raging 'discussion'.

If you wish to recieve some of these let me know. Iwill bring them to a Beers or to LMNH and will post here when I plan to do that.

Also post here if you think we could improve this.
Can I please have some for our AGM next month David?

Agreed. On that basis perhaps "Tips for sharing the road when cycling" and overleaf "Tips for sharing the road when driving" are alternative titles. You could also add a graphic that wraps from one side to the other to implicitly link them together.

Re. my point 3. It probably is too long so:

1. Understand cyclists road positioning: Cyclists are often safer in the middle of the road, even if they're not in the bike lane, as this keeps them visible and out of the way of the doors of parked cars and pedestrians stepping off the pavement. They are not trying to annoy you, just trying to stay safe.

Excellent idea.

re 10 tips for cyclists - "don't buy a bike from halfords" they come so ineptly assembled and with some pretty poor components.

Great.

I will try to swing by the Biscuit Factory sometime next week.

Or, you should come to our meeting at City Hall! :)

Yes got a call about speaking at that. Back from Estonia on Monday and will be in touch missmouse

^ I mean our Southwark AGM. Not sure what you've been invited to speak at but I'd be interested in attending :)

Not sure myself as got as a bit out of touch here. An LCC conference Love London go Dutch later this month? Will let you know.

Just got sent this from a car insurance company asking me to share it through Bikeworks website.

Seems generally sound advice and positive.
(I'd make some teaks though)

Other, more sustainable hardwoods are available.

What could be more sustainable than dragging a G plan coffee table out of a dead person’s house and selling it to someone who thinks it’s still 2016 for £400?
