CTC - The UK's National Cyclists' Organisation Should there be a law requiring drivers to give 3 feet when over-taking cyclists? Or is this just not enough? What do you think?

one of the biggest problems is getting a shower or being able to have a wash at work, many small companies don't have the facilities. although I just think its an easy excuse that is what most people at my work say.

As the Government announces its ‘Cycle to Work Guarantee’, CTC will be utilising its cycle commuting expertise to work with the Department of Health to deliver £500,000 of workplace challenges. CTC will be working closely with local Primary Care Trusts and councils to reach the health and environmental goals of getting... even more people cycling to work, regardless of what facilities their employers have. Find out more about why CTC's Workplace Challenges are the best way to get non-cyclists to cycle to work.Read more

Source: www.citycycling.co.uk
'SMIDSY' is something of a cultural phenomenon amongst cyclists. It's short for 'Sorry Mate, I Didn't See You' (something we've long mentioned as being a basic euphemism for 'Sorry Mate, I Wasn't Looking Properly').
