Trams These could
soon be coming to the Uxbridge Road. Since Croydon got it's tram
there have been unofficial reports of 25 accidents between cyclists
& trams causing broken arms and ribs. In Sheffield 2 cyclists
have been killed and 90 injured in the time trams have been there.
On the Uxbridge Road cyclists may not even be allowed along certain
sections because of health and safety regulations. We hope to bring
you more on this as the plans develop. Infrastructure
Improvements Bob Davis, Ealing's
cycling officer, has been making improvements to the London Cycle
Network in our area which should be complete by the end of March
2001. This includes coloured surfacing of cycle & bus lanes
on Uxbridge Road between Southall Broadway and Acton Vale. A safe
lane for turning right off Boston Road into Cambridge Road in Hanwell
is already complete. Check these out and let us know what you think. Sheffield
Stands Stainless steel
stands have been installed along the length of Uxbridge Road and
other LCN routes during the winter of 2000/01, including most recently
ten in Southall. These are of brushed steel which keeps it¹s
look well. It is hoped the the old lock-up style stands such as
the ones outside Acton Town tube will be replaced with the new stainless
steel stands during spring 2001. Do you have any suggestions for
cycle parking? Let us know. Cycle Training A course to
train 8 cycle trainers (due to take place in March 2001) has yet
to be followed up with actual courses for children and new/returning
adult cyclists. More on this as we get it. Events:
Meet at rear
entrance of Perceval House (next to Ealing Town Hall on Ealing Broadway,
W5) Meeting ends at 8.45 pm prompt and adjourns for drinks etc.
at the Polish Cafe on the Grove.
