  Fellow single speeders, please help overturn the decision by British Cycling. They want to stop BMX Racers under 13 yrs old from competing in Nationals and Internationals. Signing the petition could help them. The only country in the World to do this and we have some of the worlds best! BMX kids gave you Sir Chris Hoy and Jamie Staff MBE. World Champions and Olympians Shanaze Reade and Liam Phillips of whom i had the pleasure of coaching when they were young, they have raced track also. They all competed on the world stage like hundreds of others still do at an early age and so did I. This is being stopped. Many life lessons are learned through competitive sport, I started at 11yrs old. Some of your cycling Paramedics were BMX Racers! Any help is appreciated please. Thank you, Tom Lynch MBE (sign please and get the message out there)

  Thanks dude. What should I do now? Thought I was being helpful. Will tone it down a bit. How is this..... Some freewheeling guys should try fixies as the momentum will keep them upright? Love and Peace, always by bicycle. CR

  Hi Guys, some interesting points. Not all correct though. All the panniers are under 1k with full medical internal grab bags (no equipment), supply of multiple pouches/ intubation rolls/ paperwork folders, with a map area/ paperwork area, stability frame board (because of the weight), clear security internal grab bags (front), clips/ brackets etc etc. High viz, retro reflective, buckles/ straps with security adaptations, back up light fixtures, external pockets, all anti bacterial, waterproof and ability to change the trunk on to other bikes quickly. All bespoke made in the UK and long lasting. Over 50lbs of weight on the rear. So know a bit about it and yeah it is the heaviest rig you will ever ride but perfectly balanced and agile.

  As for the bikes, they are high quality and upgraded with several durable components and are classed as fleet heavy duty vehicles and are serviced as such. The livery is added later. Depending on where they work they may have straight forks.

  Been a fan of LFGSS from the start, although some of you should revert to freewheeling, lil joke there. Any members welcome to ask more questions as it is your ambulance service.

  Stay upright, CR
