Safety campaign is to highlight bikers’ plight


“THINK BIKE” is the mes­ sage to motorists on the noto­ rious A682 and the A59. Easter is often the time when


many recreational motorcyclists bring their machines out of ■win­ ter-storage, but with deaths and serious accidents among bikers rising year on year, new road safe­ ty campaigns have been lavmched. Large bright yellow signs have


been erected in key spots on both roads. The Lancashire Partner­ ship for Road Safety is also work­ ing -with the region’s Safety Cam­ era Partnerships to reduce the number of motorcyclists killed and seriously injured on the North West’s roads due to inap­ propriate speeding and inexperi­ enced driving. With the help of Morecambe-


based sport bike rider John McGuiness, the Partnership has launched a new website (www.ridesafebacksafe.co.uk) just for motorbike enthusiasts. It has a comprehensive list of links to road safety resources and bike maintenance sites, up-to-date news, FAQ’s and an interactive forum where North West riders can discuss everything from rec­ ommended cafes and best routes in the region, to riding techniques and hints and tips of how to keep bikes and kit in tip-top condition. In Lancashire in 2005, 22 motorcyclists were killed, com-

Probus speaker’s magnetic attraction


PROBUS members were persuaded to avoid all the “magnetic jokes” when they enjoyed Mr Phil Bamford’s talk about the “Mystery Of Magnets”. Warned by the speaker


that he had heard “poles apart”, “magnetic person­ ality”, “attractions” and so on, many, many times, the audience was on its best behaviour. The speaker described


how he became involved with the magnetic Bioflow system of remedial treat­ ment. As an independent distributor he travelled widely, recently giving talks in places as far apart as Welwyn Garden City and Kendal, describing the Bioflow products and inviting listeners to consid­ er becoming a distributor. A tremendous boost to


pared to nine in 2004. In addition to the fatalities, more than 150 bikers are seriously injured on Lancashire’s roads every year. Mr McGuiness commented:


“This is a really excellent initia­ tive and has been carefully researched and set up with the support of the biking community. With a busy Easter and the rid­ ing season upon us, bikers really


need to be extra careful on the roads - we must stem these dreadful casualty figures.” Riders who register on the


RideSafe BackSafe website receive a free leather credit card sized wallet with a fill-in card for their medical details in case of accidents. There is also a chance to win bike kit and the wallet is sent out

FLYING medics have been given financial support from local gar­ dening enthusiasts. At a coffee morning, held at the


Clitheroe Mayor’s Parlour, £368.55 was raised by Clitheroe Garden Club for the North-West Air Ambulance. In a change from the usual rou­ tine, club members had decided to


hold a tombola instead of a raffle, a total of 75 prizes were donated. As well as the tombola, there


were the usual plant, cake and bric- a-brac stalls. However, due to the poor start to the gardening season the plant stall was not as well stocked as usual. Although the showery weather may have put some people off


attending, it was a fruitful two hours for the club with a great total raised, including a few dona­ tions.
