Saw on Twitter this is the leaflet they were handing out to drivers regarding the ASLs. I wonder if they gave these to people on motorbikes too?

Collected from where?

I only pasted an exceprt from what is a pretty long PA story. Hippy's link is a longer version of the same story, but still not all of it. The full version includes this from the judge:

  He told Barraclough, who has no criminal history: "You're intelligent, decent and, from the reports and evidence I have seen, an outstanding young man.
  But he added: "Your driving did, in my judgment, fall substantially below what was acceptable."

  I don't know how to square `substanially below' acceptable levels with the sentence, but I agree with Hippy. RIP Mr Grayson.

Driver spared jail

  June 21 (Press Association) -- A driver who killed one of 

England's top veteran cyclists when he ploughed into him during
a road race has been spared jail after a court heard how his
brief lapse of concentration led to a devastating accident that
"could have happened to anybody".

  Leonard Grayson, 75, died instantly when he was hit 

during a 100-mile time trial along the A19 near Thirsk, North
Yorkshire.

  Peter Barraclough admitted causing his death by careless 

driving after he took his eyes off the road for a matter of
seconds when a lorry on the opposite carriageway caught his
attention.

  The judge decided not to jail Barraclough immediately, but gave 

him a five-month prison sentence, suspended for 18 months, and
ordered him to do 250 hours of unpaid work.

  He also banned him from driving for 18 months.

Sounds terrible heal up T-V and everyone.

Who DAS'd me as I cycled past Peckham Rye Park this afternoon on my way home from the track ?

I think you have your answer. No more puppy killings.

Dredge. Paul Westerberg and the Replacements doing some shows again. Along with Dinosaur Jr, Iggy & the Stooges, Guided by Voices and more. Though not in London.

Was that the sun I saw earlier?

Could have the frame looked at via Brixton Cycles, LMNH, etc for their view on extent of damage if any.

Same, pic won't work for me either.

RIP rider, deepest condolences to family and friends.

  June 9 (Press Association) -- Police are appealing for witnesses after a 17-year-old cyclist died in a collision near Swansea.
 A white Ford Fiesta collided with the cyclist on a junction in Gowerton, a village four miles from the city, at around 1.30am today.
 The cyclist, who lived locally, was taken to Morriston Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
 A spokesman for South Wales Police said it was not believed that any other vehicles were involved in the collision.
 He added: "South Wales Police would like to speak to any person who witnessed the collision or who stopped to provide assistance, or anyone who may have seen the vehicle being driven prior to the collision and who have not yet given their details.
 "The road was closed for approximately 4 hours while police carried out initial investigations and recovered the vehicles."
A police family liaison officer has been appointed and is supporting the 17-year-old's family, he said.
 The coroner has also been informed of the death. Anyone with information is asked to contact South Wales Police's serious collision investigation unit on 101.

Thanks jpb nice to meet you. GLW rest of S

Even had strange olive and greyere muffins and some strange avacado/lime/ginger drink there this morning. No wonder I don't lose any weight after all these miles.

Everyone arriving now in the pantry all smiles and wondering where the water on the roads came from ...

That rain started to fall just as I left the house, then the heavens opened. Soaked.

View from the infield. The architects are the same as the Pringle.

So the drawings for the new pavilion were displayed at the official opening today of the trackside lighting, inner track and hard standing. Pic 1:

I love reading the New York press over Citi bike. Strange that the Murdoch titles (New York Post, WSJ) are out to kill it but the Times here is sponsoring the Cities Safe for Cycling.
