I was told that the lorries and busses then were governed to
20mph, so that you could, if fit and on a good bike, just
draught them as far as you liked. There is a photo in the
local hospital of a bus from before ww2 in Matlock that
looks fairly modern until you look closely at the side rails
where is printed ''maximum 12mph''. Apparently the A1 from
Catterick had a line of lorries chugging at 20mph all the
way.If this rule was re-introduced it could solve a lot of
cycling problems, including wind direction.Perhaps Mr
Martlew might draw up a bill for us.
