Bristol MAG is the local branch of the Motorcycle Action Group and is made up of a wide variety of bikers, riding many different types of motorcycle. The group promotes MAG's campaigns in our area and raises awareness of local biking and safety issues. MAG is not just about the politics of biking, it is also a great way to get to meet like minded people with an interest in motorcycles.
So don't be shy, why not come along to our next meeting? We meet every Thursday from 8.30 p.m.
Until further notice and with effect from Thurs 18th March 2010 we will be meeting at The Portcullis, 693 Fishponds Road, Fishponds, Bristol BS16 3UH
As part of the RAV campaign approaching the forthcoming General Election, we are organising opportunities for riders to meet their prospective candidates and question them publicly about motorcycling. RAV Fowlers

Following the sucessful launch of the grip top manhole covers in the Cabot Circus area of Bristol a further 16 covers have been installed around the city of Bristol as a direct result of feedback from motorcyclists.
The current installation of these covers has come to an end, however, Bristol Council are seeking to get the utility companies on board with the installation of these covers in the future and Wessex Water, one of the companies involved with the manhole cover trial, have indicated that they will continue to be involved.
The locations of the recently installed covers are:
St Annes's Road - roundabout approach
A4 Brislington Hill/Church Hill - junction
Lawfords Gate - junction
St Mary Redcliffe Church - roundabout
Whitehouse Street - bend
Ravenhill Road/St John's Lane - roundabout
M32, junction 3 - roundabout
Colston Avenue (on the City Centre)
Bristol City Council would welcome any feedback on the locations of these covers, for example position in road.
