Newcastle cyclists opportunity to debate with bus drivers!

[TonyEnjoyD]

Newcastle Cycling Campaign have a venue to sit down and talk to bus drivers about how we can work together to achieve safer cycling throughout the city!
Problem is that it is over a weekday lunchtime... http://newcycling.org/events/20120601/bus-driver-cycling-awareness-workshop

I am hoping to get along for an hour as, although I ave seen a marked improvement in how bus drivers treat cyclists in Newcastle, there's always room for improvement.

By the way, if you live in the area, membership is currently free.

Why a lunch time , 30 seconds will do
bus driver - don't get in our way
cyclist - don't run us over

Job done

any dialogue has to be good.At least they will get to see us as human beings instead of some extraterrestial being that flies about on two wheels.

I have to say that here in south Wales I find the bus drivers on average are pretty good .If they would just start respecting the advanced stop lines then I would be really impressed.
