A great event on Wednesday 30th October, 10:30am to 3:00pm with an emphasis on making HGV drivers and cyclists more aware of one another. Lots of events and cycling related stalls in the shadow of the new velodrome on Pride Park. Cycle there, ride on a pop-up velodrome or watch the off-road show; sit in the cab of a lorry and a bus to see what the driver sees. For drivers: ride a bike close to an HGV and see what that feels like.
Meet Dave Brailsford and Ian Drake of British Cycling and para-triathlete Phil Hogg. If you are a cyclist, talk to HGV and public service vehicle drivers about cycling on the road.
DCG has a stall; we will be talking about respect on the road and giving cyclists room. Drop by for a chat, or introduce a friend to join up. As it’s half term, if you have children ride down with them. You can get to the event along the riverside path, coming off near Pride Park stadium and working your way through to the far side of the velodrome. Many other stalls there as well, see link for details. http://www.changingplacesday.co.uk/
