Cycle campaigning

I just had a very good experience in Lewisham Cycles in Lee Green (the old Youngs).

It is company policy there to suggest free cycle training to anybody buying a new or second hand bike. This is what I want all bike shops to do.

I listened in amazement as Marcus told two ladies that cycle training is free from their borough and very worth doing even as an experienced cyclist as they handed over their debit cards to pay for their bikes. Top stuff.

Evans do this, or did when I bought my Plug last year.

In other campaining news, a new group called "Londoners On Bikes" have formed to lobby/campaign for the cycling vote in London. Not really sure what they're about at the moment other than trying to get the cycling agenda on the mayoral agenda. http://lob.nationbuilder.com/ They're having a formative meeting on Friday afternoon in Westminster. I'm going to go and see what it's all about. Anyone else?

Stonehedge - will read through this thread properly and let's catch up, yeah?
