Cycling.

In response to a number of emails on cycling and safety matter for bike riders, i have sent the following reply

My wife and me are keen Motorhomers and travel with a bike rack and 2 bikes.

Due to my previous injuries, mine is electric assisted; my wife's is pure pedal power.

There is nothing we enjoy more than to park up and ride into a town, city or other point of interest. Sadly most city P+R do not permit this (you have to use their buses) and we have to find alternative parking in order to ride our cycles.

We are often delighted to find dedicated cycle tracks and saddened that they come abruptly to an end meaning we have to join main traffic highways, often incredibly dangerous.

In the unlikely event that I would be elected, UKIP are presently only running at 14% in the local polls, you can be assured I would champion the issues raised by cyclists.

I hope we can count on your support on May 7th. I believe you have 3 votes, General, local and Tod Town Council
