.... 23 Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 A 'neutralised ride-out through the city apparently so that everyone get a glimpse of the champ and all. With other cycling events in the Square it seems like a good day for the sport and for the city of Nottingham alike: http://www.thisisnot...tail/story.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
taxi ray 170 Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 The first day was today and according to the BBC report was very well attended, lets hope that we all show the same support tomorrow, It's a pity as most people will be at work due to it being a weekday. I live close to Trowell road so I will see if I can get a few photos. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-19521148 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 6,115 Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Same on the lanes around here. I agree with all that you say. I used to ride a bike but I gave it up as I didn't want to be associated with such arrogant idiots. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
