Any idea what this is about?

I have received this from a third party. I have heard that the Government is researching allowing PTWs in cycle boxes. This looks like this may be part of this. Anyone got any more gen before I volunteer for the 19th?

*Hi,

Please accept my apologies for the impersonal email.

I’ve been contacted to try and find some motorcyclists to take part in a
safety trial. The details are:

Transport Research Laboratory (Crowthorne, Berkshire, RG40 3GA).
They need motorcyclists (and cyclists) for some track trials.

They’re on the weekends of 11th & 12th, and 18th & 19th July.

Food & drinks provided
£35 paid for attendance
£10 fuel allowance (for motorcyclists)

Interested (and over 25)?

“There will be a signalised crossroad set up on the large central area and
cyclists and motorcyclists will be filmed as they ride through the junction.
Participants should be arriving about 9am. It will be a full day on the
track with each session lasting about 40 minutes(2 morning 2 afternoon),
there will be a break for about an hour between sessions as there will be 2
groups in turn on the track. There will be a lunch break, food and drink
will be provided. I would bring a book/newspaper to read for the breaks.”

If you’re able to get this information to your club members, I’m sure Sandra
would be most grateful. Please spread to any other clubs where you feel
there might be people interested in helping.

Thanks,

Malcolm Palmer

Over 25?? Ageist!

Ageist indeed, but no doubt some insurance requirement for public liability / indemnity in these health & safety conscious (excessively) times!
