Frank wrote to remind us it was World Bicycle Day last Sunday. Yep, we missed it. This United Nations sponsored event needs to get its publicity machine into a higher gear.
Or perhaps we are not the target. Getting motorists back into the saddle is a hard and long task. Stopping many in the developing world from going the other way may save a lot of future grief.
Acknowledging the uniqueness, longevity and versatility of the bicycle, which has been in use for two centuries, and that it is a simple, affordable, reliable, clean and environmentally fit sustainable means of transportation, fostering environmental stewardship and health, the General Assembly decided to declare 3 June World Bicycle Day.
Mind you unknowingly on that day The Anerley was doing its bit:
* The Sunday Ride put more than 50 miles behind them to penetrate as far south as Ardingly
* The Tour de Norfolk detachment also engulfed Cambridgeshire & Lincolnshire
* The Picos de Europa were still trying to get above the cloud level to see some Spanish sun
We have yet to hear from our Norfolk contingent but here are some photos smuggled back from the Compestella Crowd [add your own captions]:
