FNRttC - could it be a club?

[StuartG]

I've missed that. Do you get a better rate when you're 60?

LCC:
Concessionary membership £14
Annual membership for full-time students, under 16s, over 60s, or those not in paid employment.

CTC:
Senior (over 65) £23.00
Senior '5 yrs for the price of 4' £92.00
Unwaged £23.00
Junior (under 18) £12.00
So if you are over 60 or unwaged the LCC seems the better buy. I don't think there is any requirement to live, work or play in London so if you treat it as third party premium I would seriously consider it.

Returning to the main subject: Would it be simpler to insist that all riders were members of LCC/CTC and rely on that for rider liability? I understand it would not cover Leader/Wayfinder/TEC liability but that is a much lower risk than me just getting too sleepy and running into another rider.

Frankly I think it irresponsible to partake in any massed cycle event without Third Party Cover. Mistakes do happen and we do have a responsibility to our fellow riders that we can compensate them for our errors and not put our own family home/lifestyle at risk.

thankyou for that. Those approaching our seventh decade salute you.......

Ideally we would all join the CTC/LCC/BC - but for those who find the mainline CTC and LCC subs a bit of a strain, the affiliate route would provide the cover for less money.

And, yes, I do think we all need 3rd party.

Indeed we do.
Just been reading this, not strictly relevant, but shows what can happen.

I can confirm you don't have to be resident or work in London to be an LCC member.

Just been reading the revamped FNRttC pages on the blog web. So it's "The Fridays" then!


Some sensible words on bikes as well. Hopefully certain people will take note.........

Couldn't the log o selection be moved across a bit to obscure that mekon in red playing with a wheel?

Adam - only joking, it's very fitting (unlike your coat )

Some cranky views on mudguards certainly...... the man clearly has something against them

The sub-text is that, 'no mudguards' is the last bastion of youth. Mudguards herald advancing years, Greg. (I have mudguards on some of my bikes - I'm of changeable mood...)

Mine's like the economy- room for growth.

Mudguards herald people who ride whatever the weather!

All my bikes have mudguards. How over the hill am I? Very.

I hold memory of you being at the pinnacle of the 'hill' Greg 'hic' - you'll never be over it. Lifetime peerage for you.

I'm surprised nobody's taken me to task on the Christmas motif....

We thank you for that!

Here's a link for the 'Fridays' symbolmeister to peruse, then perhaps add, the cycling graphics?

The fire extinguisher one could come in handy for anyone zooming down Reigate Hill too fast and overheating their brakes. Stu can carry one in his rucksack.

Not sure about some of the others though. Where would you get a haircut at 3 am?
