2007 LCAG FREE OPEN EVENING - 'BIKE FREAKS' - Wed, 26 Sept 07
This is now confirmed for Wed, 26 Sept 2007 (7.30-9.15pm) at Oxford Place
Methodist Centre, Oxford Place, Leeds 1.
Guest Speaker: DAN JOYCE, Editor of the CTC's 'Cycle' magazine and cycle
journalist around the subject of 'BIKE FREAKS - Normalising Cycling' as it's
still seen as slightly 'abnormal'. He says this can cover many issues such
as how people perceive cycling; barriers to entry; life without a car;
tribalism among cyclists ('only my form of cycling is the right and proper
form of cycling!'😉 as a response to being a minority culture; helmets
(they're not normal everyday attire); why we need more Dutch roadsters etc
etc. As well as Dan's talk there will be time for questions from the floor
which will no doubt lead to interesting discussion. Entry is free and all
attendees will receive the ever-popular free raffle ticket with a chance to
win a prize from a selection of cycling-related goodies. There will be
information stalls from LCAG and other cycling-related organisations.
