Ride On II- Memorial Ride- Help and Organisation

just want to remind you that motor transport kills a lot more people than cycling. Obviously, there are more journies made ... but still. More people die driving than cycling.

True, but not enough is made of the awareness of the dangers of cycling - both to motorists and to cyclists.

With motoring the dangers are inherent in its very form, in that you're piloting a huge hunk of metal effortlessly capable of high speeds, at which the slightest deviation from total concentration could easily result in catstrophic injury or even fatality. The potential of this occuring when cycling is minimal and therefore more needs to be done to ensure that cycling is a lot less risky than it currently is.

I think this ride is all about raising awareness, as well as a fitting memorial.
