Ride for Sam Boulton: Leicester, Sat 27th July

[Mazz]

On the 27th July 2016 Sam Boulton was killed outside Leicester train station by car dooring, on his 26th birthday.

Please join us and our friends from Leicester Critical Mass and ride in his memory and highlight the need for change in the law for car dooring.

The ride is on Saturday 27th July, his 34th birthday, 6pm at the Curve Leicester/Exchange Bar Rutland Street.

Please ride with your best smiles, just as Sam would.

His death hastened an update to the Highway Code.
Rule 239 includes the 'Dutch Reach', which a lot of drivers still don't know about.

All very sad; streets and roads are getting to be so crowded it is near impossible to allow oneself enough space to avoid danger zones.
