Description: Birds on Bikes is an LCC-organised evening ride that celebrates International Women’s Day

Everyone’s welcome at this event, which is female-focused but not exclusive to women.

Bring your friends, colleagues and families to enjoy two wheels and help light up London’s streets with us, celebrating women’s achievements over the past century.

The ride will be really visual, so come in fancy dress, bikes draped in fairy lights, and anything else you can create for the evening.

The marshalled route (easy pace, approx 6 miles) passes the London sights at night and finishes back at the Dragon Hall by 9pm for a social event until 10.30pm.

Bikes can be hired for just £12 from Simon at www.gopedal.co.uk if you mention Birds on Bikes.

Dear XXX

I’m writing in support of Bill 118 and Bill 126 on behalf of Women’s Cycling.ca. I live just outside the beautiful town of Perth. When I cycle I ride through rolling country hills on divided highways. These highways aren’t busy like the streets of Toronto, but motorists still whiz by too fast and too close, putting cyclists at risk.

In the spring turtles lay their eggs in the soft gravel shoulders of our roads. Because of this there are many signs along the highways warning drivers of the impending danger of squashing a turtle as it lumbers across the road.

While I applaud our government for protecting turtles, I can’t help but wonder why it doesn’t have the same concern for cyclists. If we can afford signs to protect wildlife, why can’t we have signs to warn motorists to reduce their speed and give a wide berth to cyclists? Are cyclists a lower priority than turtles?

I support this bill to counter distracted driving, and any other bills that will make our roads safer for cyclists, runners and pedestrians.

We have the same here, lots of signs for ‘wild animals’ but few signs for warning of cyclists”.

Good morning all.

We have a few outstanding opportunities for female bloggers in the UK, ranging from coffee tasting, trying a new product that replaces sugar, new products from Johnson & Johnson and some cool ipod kit. As we have said many times before, all that is required is that you try out the products and write a true and honest review based on your experience.

If you are up for the opportunity to test and review, please reply to this email with your name and address for delivery (it can be office), we are sending out the products this week and will let you know if you have been successful asap.

Thanks

Fuel Team
