Campaigning to get East Midlands Railways to increase the cycle capacity on their newly commissioned trains.  Currently there will only be space for two bikes hung on vertical hooks per 5 car train.

Bike buses are a great way to get to school.  Nottingham resident Hayley talks about the bike bus she has organised in Sherwood.  Resources provided.

A further article was posted with some more photos and additional resources to start one up.

We will be highlighting some examples of bad practice here.  In fairness, there will be some good practice too!

Collision, near miss or road rage

• Advice from the Cyclists' Defence Fund

Why it is SO IMPORTANT to report a collision to the police

The police have a duty to accept reports of all road collisions which result in an injury (even if minor). This includes single vehicle incidents. Even if the case is not pursued, the police must record details of the collision by filling in something called a STATS 19 form. The data collected via STATS 19 is lumped together, anonymised and published annually. It is used by local authorities to identify the roads where the most collisions take place, and which should qualify for safety improvements.

If you do not report your collision then this data does not reflect a true picture of cycle collisions on our roads.

By buses

• Report to the Police
• Report to the bus operator

By taxis

Submitting camera footage

It is now possible to submit video footage directly to Nottinghamshire Police using their dash cam portal.  Please note that through this method the police incorrectly do not provide feedback other than stating whether an action has been taken or note.  If action is taken, it could be either a letter, sent on a course, fine/points / court.
