Passing this on from lnr. As many of you may know there are plans to change the Highway code so that cyclists are asked to use cycle facilities whenever possible - reqardless of safety etc. If you would like to do something about this then below is a letter from the cambridge cycling campaign about how we can help David Howarth (Cambridge's MP) in his attempts to change this.

Cambridge MP David Howarth has an opportunity at very short
notice to present a petition in the House of Commons opposing the
changes detrimental to cycling in the new Highway Code that we
contacted you about last week.

Anyone can sign the petition: it is not specific to Cambridge
constituency voters.

Unfortunately though it has to be physically signed with an
original signature on the correct form. Therefore, please can
we ask you to print the form which you can find at

http://www.camcycle.org.uk/campaigning/issues/highwaycode/petition.html

fill it in and send it by post *to ARRIVE by this THURSDAY morning*
at the absolute latest (Wednesday if possible) to

David Howarth MP
David House, Room 4/11
Norman Shaw North
House of Commons
London SW1A 0AA

(n.b. not just to the usual House of Commons address, please, as that
mail would then end up back in Cambridge)

Please ask friends and colleagues who you can contact to fill in the
form as well. Please feel free to circulate this as widely as you can.
