and it's parked outside the albert memorial
where it's promoting integrated transport policy bike and train
Let's hope so. Currently, it's not clear what plans there are. I've tipped off Dave H about it.

Hippy and I got the chunnel with the bikes in the car for the first part of the Italy trip.
Would have been awesome to have been given the option of staying on the train until Germany.
The train does 100mph which is acceptably moderate...
fixed.
The Le Shuttle is design as a freight train rather than a high speed passenger train like the Eurostar.

^That is madness!
Seems there is no duty of care at all on drivers to look out for more vulnerable road users, if a professional driver, who admits to driving while being unable to see properly, is hardly held cupable for killing someone.Only a change in the law that gives a duty of care to all drivers and especially professional drivers . So even minor traffic infringements would mean severe punishments: jail and fines and a permanent ban.
This IS the law in some European countries which explains why drivers in denmark/netherlands are so good around cyclists- they fear the law
time for the advocacy groups LCC/CTC to consider such a campaign

We are an incredibly car centric society. What pains me so much with this isn't the size of the fine or the points on the license, but how they came about.
Chair of the bench Jill D'aprano said: 'We are today only dealing with the guilty plea to driving with uncorrected defective vision.'
I agree that he is guilty of this, but I fail to see how this is the appropriate charge to press against him. It's clearly the charge that would attract the lowest penalty among a myriad that could, and should, have been laid against him. It shows a systematic failure of the legal and judicial systems to hold an individual to fully account for their actions and, once convicted, to determine an appropriate penalty.

Wasn't that cycling lawyer working on this case, or commenting on it a few months back?
Edit:
In February I met some of the family of Eilidh Cairns who tragically died under the front wheel of an HGV a year ago in Notting Hill Gate. The inquest, which recorded a verdict of accidental death, was clearly not as detailed as the family would have liked and may be thought to be entitled to expect. A narrative verdict is available to Coroners and there is a case for believing it should be used in this type of case. I say no more as proceedings arising from this tragedy have clearly yet to conclude
...The Crown Prosecution Service's determination to enforce the law against those, on the face of it, responsible for the death of cyclists remains patchy as Eilidh Cairns's case illustrates. It is interesting that they appear to have a policy of leaving it to the jury to determine whether excessive force has been used against a dead burglar, yet being often reluctant to leave the question whether adequate care has been taken by a motorist around a dead cyclist. One might have supposed that the public policy in encouraging and protecting cyclists was greater than that of encouraging and protecting burglars.
He might give a more frank account now the case is over

back to posh kids only in higher education then, at least we'll be able to get hold of a decent plumber again rather than an aqua engineering graduate
