Road deaths are a real killer, both in the UK and on a global scale and the problem is predicted to escalate if nothing is done to stop it – so get on your bike and get fit while raising a bit of sponsorship for Transaid this summer.”</p> <p><a href="http://www.fta.co.uk/media_and_campaigns/press_releases/20110531_sally_traffic_supports_fta_transaid_cycle_challenge.html">From FTA site</a></p> <p>It's easy to say 'how ironic', but anything that combines the haulage industry, road safety and cycling must be good. As 'we' know on here from various posts and threads, bigger lorries tend to have better trained drivers.</p> <p>It's not <em>exactly</em> a round Britain cycle ride. Will be in Edinburgh next week.</p> <p><a href="http://www.fta.co.uk/microsites/transaid/about.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.fta.co.uk/microsites/transaid/about.html</a> </p>
