Brand new cycle slip at Newtown Road, #Hove!
This junction with Fonthill Rd had a poor record for speeding and collisions.
Trees will be planted in the spaces on each side of the slip.

It was a great turnout for Sunday's shorter ride starting from Port Kitchen! 🚴‍♂️ 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️
We used traffic free paths, cycle lanes and quiet roads.
Lovely views.🌳

A nice new smooth surface is being applied in stages to the main #London to #Brighton road, the A23, south of #Patcham. Previously this was pitted and potholed!
Looking down a newly surfaced road with no road markings, a few vehicles and a bus stop on the left.

Ever been dazzled by car headlights when you're cycling?
Most of this article is from the windscreen perspective, but at least the College of Optometrists mentions cyclists!

Clocks all adjusted? Don't forget our ride starting from Newhaven Sainsbury's today (Sunday 26th October) at 10.30, promptly. We're going to Steamworks, Glynde for lunch.
