great advice in my local paper today

[Quiff Wichard]

I think this is good advice come the easter weekend!

also- all over my area here in stafforshire BIG yellow signs have appeared on lamposts saying BIKES BEWARE - and warning folks of bikes etc....

I will post a pic of them I off out in a min so will take one.

is there something similar near you ?.

I am on the main route to the cat n fiddle though !! could be that !

anyway heres what was in my local paper.
(hope its ok to post it)



you may need to copy it and zoom in to read it - basically its saying- take your time and play your way in after a winter rest- get to "feel" the bike again..

Some of us don't stop for winter

Was thinking that too.

Some of us only stop when injuries or damage to the bike forces us to. :P

But for the FWBs that is good advice. Ive cringed several times over the past week at people who clearly havent been on a bike for a while and are a bit rusty.

aye loads of us FWBs out in Helmsley earlier - one lad i spoke to only past his test 3 weeks ago and he had brand new 06 R6! To say he looked nervous trying to manouvre out of the car park was an understatement!

More than likely going for a bimble up there tommorow......
Had a nice blat today... Brum to kiddy ,then to bridgenorth, follow A442 towards telford, use the B roads to shifnal, cross the A5 to pick up the A41, turn right at newport for the A518 to stafford, A449 to the M54 back on the M6 and M5 home 100 miles exactly and a superb mix of roads.....

Not that the weekend warriors slow down untill they are re-aqauinted of course. And by slow down I mean stop. For red lights. That's optional apparently

Forgotten about the three Id seen go through reds.... yet I suspect if they'd been taken out they would be on a forum complaining about a car driver

But stopping for Reds is becoming wholly optional for a lot of road users. If the government really gave a damn about road casualty rates theyd be installing red light cameras not speed cameras.
