Get Out On Your Bike
Reading Borough Council has recently set up an internal task group to provide scrutiny of the Council’s active travel strategy and we will, of course, be contributing our ideas and opinions to this group.
You can read the thoughts of our Chairman on the task group’s initial questionnaire seeking those opinions.
We tend to concentrate our campaigning efforts on making our local urban and suburban areas cycle-friendly; however there are some cyclists who will be thinking of taking their bikes further afield, especially during these summer months.
So in this issue we have looked at the practicalities of bike-packing and relate a tale of a trip to Bath along Network National Cycle Route 4 on electric assist pedal bikes.
On that note we also give the technical low-down on how bike batteries work and what can cause them to catch fire, as well as providing tips on how to avoid this.
