Another fun little video from the team, with some good pointers 👍

or any other cyclists come to think of it !
Do not normally promote adverts sent to the club but this product looks very good and reasonably priced. So if like me you commute to work in traffic if these lights are as effective as they appear on the photo below they are defiantly worth considering for when the night draw in again. If anyone has seen them please add a comment below as a review

I would like to use this opportunity to tell your cycling club about a product that I think could greatly improve the safety of your members.
It is an LED tail light similar to a Cateye, but in addition to flickering it projects a laser ‘bicycle lane’ on the riding surface behind the rider. This helps other road users better judge how much space is needed to pass the cyclist safely. Recently with all the unfortunate cycling accidents and fatalities, we really can not be careful enough. Even though no product can ever fully protect us cyclists, I am confident that this product can go a long way to help make us more visible to other road users.
I have personally tested this product and have had other cyclists test it as well,and can confirm that it is of good quality. Performance is also unaffected in wet and rainy conditions and they are weather proof. I have this BICYCLE LASER LED TAIL LIGHT on offer, this light uses AAA batteries and offers excellent battery life.
I can offer this product at a competitive price with a great SPECIAL OFFER when ordering larger quantities.
Every package includes:
1 x Bicycle 5 LED + Laser Rear Light
1 x Rear Light Mount Holder
2 x free AAA batteries
Below are the links to our ebay shop, where this light can be purchased:
This flat light is available at a cost of £6-74 per piece

We had a great turn out Saturday with 31 women attending our women’s specific cycling day which covered a wide range of cycling subjects from equipment to nutrition and training for key events.
The event was well received by all who attended and it was great to see the interest and discussions the presentations generated and the enthusiasm by many of the women to develop their cycling further still. Following the event several of those who attended enjoyed rides led by Wendy on-road and Veronica off-road.

Then there are dozens of rides each week organized by Stafford RC. Perhaps the best for new comers being either the Saturday morning or afternoon rides or Monday evening. We also host dozens of time trial events that are open to all and include some short 5 mile courses which are very popular.
well its getting to that time of year when those who are planning to race this year are looking to put a bit of speed into their legs
Well here is a useful little video that just goes to show that technique is just as important, if not more, than stamping on the pedals
