Government
response to petition 'roads4bikes'
Having
listened to the concerns of cyclists regarding
certain aspects ofrules 61 and 63 of the proposed
revisions to the Highway Code, we soughtviews
from key stakeholders on proposals for further
changes to these rules.We have now carefully
considered stakeholders views and on 15 June
laid before Parliament revised versions
of rules 61 and 63, as follows:
61 Cycle Routes and Other Facilities. Use cycle
routes, advanced stop lines, cycle boxes and
toucan crossings unless at the time it is unsafe to do so.
Use of these facilities is not compulsory and
will depend on your experience and skills,
but they can make your journey safer.
63 Cycle Lanes. These are marked by a white
line (which may be broken) along the carriageway.
When using a cycle lane, keep within the
lane when practicable. When leaving a
cycle lane check before pulling
out that it is safe to do so and signal your intention
clearly to other road users. Use of cycle lanes is
not compulsory and will depend on your experience
and skills, but they can make your journey safer.
Provided that there are no objections in Parliament
to the proposed
revisions we should be able to publish the
new edition of the Highway Code by the end of September.
Any delay in issuing the Code would mean
delaying the benefits of applying all the improved
advice for all road users that it contains, including
advice to motorists to be more aware of vu
Casartelli
- Crona Muri Di Sormano
Fabio
Casartelli
(August 16, 1970 – July 18, 1995) was
an Italian cyclist and an Olympic gold medalist, On July 18
during the fifteenth stage of the 1995 Tour de France,
Fabio Casartelli and a few other riders crashed on the
descent of the Col de Portet d'Aspet in the Pyrenees. Casartelli
sustained heavy facial and head injuries and lost
consciousness. While being transported via helicopter to a local
hospital, he stopped breathing and after numerous resuscitation
attempts was declared dead.

GREEN'S PARIS - BREST - Paris
Now that it is more than six months since I completed Paris-Brest-Paris
I feel able to think and write about the experience without too
much
trauma and I amable to gather my confused recollections
of this classic event.MORE...
