Would you stand on the spot with your back towards a truck as it drives towards you at 100km/h, knowing it was going to pass within a metre?
Plain Lunacy? This is an everyday occurrence for cyclists on our roads.
1.5m To Survive is your call to action!
There are nearly 1.5 million of us riding bikes in New Zealand, yet the Ministry of Transport's 10-year road safety strategy discussion document has little to address the safety needs of cyclists. We must act now, (right now...September) if we want cycling conditions on our roads to improve in the next 10 years. This is your moment to speak out!! Submissions close Friday October 2nd, 2009.
Take action!.....
1) Vote for 1.5m To Survive (online petition)
2) Read more on RideStrong's submission, or read the full press release here
3) Have your say- tell us your thoughts in the forums
4) If we don't have our say NOW, we'll be ignored for another 10 years. Forward this viral campaign to all of your cycling friends and family. Aim for at least 5!
5) Make sure you have signed up to RideStrong

About the Nelson Women's Activator Series
Take part in one or more of a series of training and information sessions to get women active and involved in summer events.
Get fit and get into swimming, mountain biking, running and walking, sea swimming, road cycling, and even triathlons. There are weekly training sessions covering differing sports. Alongside these training sessions participants can attend information sessions on nutrition, how to purchase and wear the correct clothing and footwear, and stretching and injury prevention.
The Women's Activator Series aims to be an affordable way to introduce women to a new physical activity. You can focus on one of the sporting activities on offer, or work on several and build up completing a 10km Run/Walk, a half marathon or even the Taylors Nelson Womens Triathlon.
