Another newspaper article on traffic....

Nothing we've not read before, but I like the fact it actually included
some numbers and still made Richard Brunstrom sound like a twat, without
slating him.

You'd have to be terminally thick to risk a nicking by turning up for a
North Wales Plod Bikesafe event, surely?

IWHT the first thing they're likely to do is a full front-to-back check
on the bike and rider in an attempt to improve their statistics.

 

In Nigel Eaton <> fumbled, fiddled and fingered:

Last year there was a protest run from one of the local bike dealers to
plod HQ ... very well attended with a few hundred bikes .... its funny
they were less keen on stopping anyone when they were so hideously
outnumbered ... )

It was quite an impressive sight seeing so many bikes in "convoy" and
despite Brainstorms stoogie reckoning that "bikers were not well liked"
in the area lots of the general public lined the route to wave an cheer
the procession ...

Upon arrival police HQ in Colwyn Bay appeared to be like something from
a ghost town ..

Still total waste of time as the appear to have dome nothing to alter
their approach .. still I spose we have to get involved in order to
prove democracy is "working"
