at Fisher’s UK SRAM technical centre
AHEAD OF the Tour Series round in Woking, team Cycle Premier Kovert took time out from their hectic schedule to visit Fisher Outdoor Leisure’s SRAM UK Technical Centre. While there, SRAM technicians gave the team’s bikes the once over. The team itself has been kitted out with Santini Sleek custom clothing, while the bikes are (you’ll never guess) loaded up with SRAM Force group sets. The SRAM Technical Centre is a joint venture between SRAM and Fisher and is contactable on 0843 487 8815.

“WE ARE very concerned that 2011 saw the first increase in road fatalities since 2003, with 1,901 people killed on the roads. It is shocking that road accidents are the main cause of death amongst young adults aged 16-24 and that so many cyclists continue to be killed or injured. “The evidence we gathered suggests
the principal factor in improving road safety is robust political leadership. The Government’s strategy sets out to devolve decision making on road safety
to local authorities but many authorities face a shortage of funding and the loss of many skilled road safety personnel.” Louise Ellman, chair of
the Transport Committee, launching a report from a
Transport comittee of MPs, calling on the Government to implement
#cyclesafe meausres.
"I am a member of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Rebalancing the British Economy, an excellent group that I recommend to the House. Of all the
evidence that the group has heard, I have been most struck by that given by Brompton Bicycles, a firm that sells a conventional product but is successful in large part because its manufacturing processes are at the cutting edge of technology…”
Lib Dem peer Baroness Kramer, at the second
reading of the Finance Bill, pays tribute to Brompton.
“BMXing is really cool. There's a lot of skill involved and you need to be pretty confident. So the Halfords BMX Sessions are going to be a great place for kids to learn this over the summer.” Chart sensation and
musician Tinchy Stryder
gets behind BMX and Halfords’ BMX Sessions, pitched at fans of the sector, aged between 9 and 14. The Sessions begin on August 20th and will feature
free skills workshops, demos and other assorted BMX activities.
