  1. British Cycling have made another plea to support their petition to ‘Get Britain Cycling’ The most recent members’ newsletter says:
    “This week the Member News message is really simple. We need your help. The e-petition urging Westminster to implement the recommendations of the recent Get Britain Cycling report has reached over 40,000 signatures but we need 100,000 to make the government sit up and take notice.
    British Cycling’s Chris Boardman, Sir Dave Brailsford and Laura Trott have all put their weight behind the petition and we ask you, if you haven’t already done so, to read the report, sign the petition and spread the word. Together we can make a difference to the future of cycling in this country.”

  2. British Cyling are still requesting more signatures. They need 100,000, only got 58,000 so far. Looks like apathy rules when you consider how many active cyclists there are. This may be a once in a life time opportunity to change transport policy away from car domination and make the planners think about cyclists
    This week’s British Cycling news letter say “British Cycling urges more support for Get Britain Cycling petition
    British Cycling has welcomed the Government’s initial response to The Times’ online petition to ‘Get Britain Cycling’. The Department for Transport issued a holding statement on Tuesday to every one of the 58,000 people who have already put their name to the e-petition, which was setup by The Times in order to secure a Parliamentary debate on the 18 recommendations made within the Get Britain Cycling report.
    However, we’re continuing to back The Times’ target of 100,000 signatures, necessary to force a parliamentary debate. ” Full article on BC web site
