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 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.
British Legion Hall, Patchway BS34 5PE 12:30 for 1:00 free food & entertainment. Non members £25
Thanks to all those who gave up some of their time to marshall at the show. Check out the dedicated website The Bristol Bike Show for more info, pictures and video.
Rugby Club went well and we raised £500 for MAG. Thanks to Claire for the raffle prizes and to the 'Blues Wreckers' for getting everyone dancing, they would be happy to do more events, call Duncan on 07710099134
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.
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.

Westminster Council are trying to introduce a permanent parking tax for bikes. Where Westminster goes other boroughs will follow. NOW IS THE TIME to tell them that you WILL NOT HAVE a Bike Parking Tax in WESTMINSTER, in LONDON, or ANYWHERE IN THE UNITED KINGDOM. Further details are available at notobikeparkingfees
Each year Bristol MAG does the Not So So-So Soup Run to raise money for the Julian Trust, a shelter for homeless people in Bristol.
