7km from home to start of ride. 7 drivers overtook. 3 were close passes. On the way back an utter moron close passes and 50 metres up the road turns off. Pathetic.
@beau_jangle21 I don’t have a camera. Previously used a GoPro, submitted a blatant close pass to local force who took no action. I have a pass pixi as a deterrent. Change will only happen when there are proper consequences.
@LouHaigh until there are proper consequences for this and ‘everyday’ road violence any of your active travel plans will fail. This should be a life ban from operating a piece of heavy machinery AKA a car. P.S. I’d have Adam on my team if he wanted the job.

Find me somebody, anybody, who thinks road justice is working well.

Barry Parslow was the Brit to ride PBP back in 1966. Amongst his brevet trinket collection are some oddities and rarities. Below is a fairly early @audaxuk Super Randonneur medal, probably late ‘80s.
