Hi Rick

The bike ride is now planned for 2pm to 4pm on 10/10/10.

How you ride is entirely flexible – and self-selecting. I’m hoping people will team up in small groups and help each other. I don’t know how easy it will be to survey some of a route with small children in tow.

Obviously we cannot take responsibility for people’s safety. If you want to bring your children that’s up to you. I hope you’ll be able to participate and will find it fun!

More details of the ride are now available on the 350.org website – just set the map to Ipswich.

Hi, I would really liked to get involved in a bike ride on 10:10, however my involvement would also include 3 small children also. Splitting up into groups of two or three to do an audit of cycle routes would be worthwhile, but would exclude me from taking part.

I’m not sure – certainly some, such as current developments like the Duke St roundabout. I’ll ask more at the next meeting – haven’t been able to make the last two.

Hi Rona
I assume that CI folk routinely monitor the quality of cycle paths/lanes and road surface/layout safety, and report problems when they see them. But I think it would be great to have a coordinated blitz on 10/10. Good publicity for CI too! Count me in!
Cheers, Steve

I hope no-one minds me putting this up as a proposal. It’s just that so far. It’s not a Transition thing, just something I feel is important. If you are willing to help, please contact me through the Cycle Ipswich Google group where this message is also posted,

Thanks
