More details
I propose a monthly morning cycle tour of the major arms manufacturers in Bristol.
The ride will take place on the last Friday of the month, from 7:30am until 8:15am so that cyclists can still get to work on time.
Initially I propose only using one lane of the road and working up to taking the whole road once we get 50+ regular riders.
The idea would be to cycle at a normal speed and for the ride to be easy and legal.
