3 feet please

'Three feet please - it's the law'. Well, in some places anyway. Three feet clearance when passing someone on a bicycle is recommended to avoid accidents, and this simple plea to drivers could become a big campaign. Started by a USA resident, Joe Mizereck, he also has the useful idea of collating info on cycling blackspots in order to put on pressure to make them safer. Is anybody doing this in the UK? CTC maybe? Will ask.

Trade in your tent

This is a nice idea. Millets is running a tent exchange until the end of Sept. 09. You trade in your tent, which goes to a charity helping homeless overseas, and get 20% off your new tent. Or you can donate the discount too. So you get a new tent and a warm glow. More camping offers are on our online cycle shop pages.
