We got wet...

Well a few of us did anyway. In what has to be the wettest day since records began, we finally got a good soaking – well those that cycled from Keighley did anyway. From Saltaire on, the following wind made it seem as though hardly a drop of rain was falling.

Just another day that proves the weather is rarely so bad you couldn't possibly cycle – and another day that showed, actually, even bad weather isn't usually that bad!

Numbers

We're just below double figures most weeks in the morning, which is pretty good. The evening return ride is firmly fixed as a regular trip, although it's usually just a handful of people. Either way, we still have a significant presence on the roads throughout the length of the commute.

Coming up

Join us for mince pies and cycling chat at the Christmas Gathering hosted by Ginny Leonard, the new Cycle Champions co-ordinator, Wednesday 9th December, Salts Sports Association, Saltaire 7pm.

There should be a few cycling projects there, so a good chance to see just what exactly is going on around Bradford for cyclists. There is an sort of online version at: www.bikebradford.org.uk.

Cycling Santas

How about it – December 23rd, tinsel, Santa outfits, and commuters on bikes? Join us in festive lycra for the last bike buses before Christmas. Same time(s) same place(s)

Christmas Break

People are going to work on December 30th as far as I know this year, so the Aire Valley Bike Bus will be running as usual on that day.
