Hi All!
Wow, it's now officially autumn with the passing of the autumnal
equinox on Monday. Luckily here in the UK, and in most places, it's
possible to skate all year round outdoors.

End of practice club
Unfortunately this is the end of practice club for the year. All being
well, it'll be back in spring.
The London Freewheel
This was just as much a success as last year, it seems! I had a great
day skating around it, accompanying my son on his bike. The little guy
managed nearly 16 miles on the day, though he did have a little crash.

With a number of cyclists recently killed by HGVs, I'd like to point
out this article again, on how to avoid the most dangerous scenarios
involving an HGV:

Article by Josie Dew on carrying children on the bike:
Having done a lot of riding with son no.1 in a trailer, it really is as
great as she makes out. Josie is the author of many excellent books on
cycle touring.

Cool quotes:
http://kba.tripod.com/quotes.htm
The bicycle is just as good company as most husbands and, when it gets
old and shabby, a woman can dispose of it and get a new one without
shocking the entire community.
--- Ann Strong, Minneapolis Tribune, 1895
