Welcome

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.

Do you ride a Trike, or Sidecar combination?

Do you use Bristol/South Glos bus lanes? The official position still seems unclear, so if you ride a trike or motorcycle/sidecar combination in Bristol/South Glos bus lanes would you let the know your experiences.

WWW.GETAGRIPUK.ORG

MAG are supporting a nationwide campaign at www.getagripuk.org where you can report road surface safety issues - bad tarmac, man hole covers, etc. There is a map on the site where you can pinpoint the hazard and the campaign should pass the issue on to the relevant authority.

Proposed 20mph blanket speed limit for Bristol

At the next business meeting we will be writing to our councillors about this. Our basic position is that we support it in residential areas but not on arterial roads.

View a quick intro to the topic. Or the full report.

You can also add your input to the start of a campaign for 20mph limits in North Somerset.
