I don't think many cyclists have read that! :(

is it going to make that much difference? surely no one is actually going to do 20mph, unless there is a speed camera or they're directly in front of a police car... in which case, the police car will be wondering why the person in front is barely moving along the road, and getting overtaken by cyclists...

In Wales the council is going to ask residents if they want to be trained up as "community speed officers ". Let's face it , people will be lining up to have a uniform, lanyard and a badge to say they have some kind of enforcement powers.......just what the controller's love...getting the commoners to police themselves. :camera:

We are staying for a few days In a small village in rural Bedfordshire - the previous 30 limit has been ignored for years and the now 20 limit is also being ignored

Now they are to install cameras.

I estimate some are through the village at speeds 40+


As an outsider I can understand the justification in this instance!
You don't stop playing when you get old - You get old when you stop playing!
So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with. :thumbsup:
