RPC Bulletin #72, January 2024

Each month, we email a bulletin to everyone who has signed up on this site. Below is the edition that we sent in January 2024. If you like it, please sign up on our Get Involved section – you will be showing your support for our work and you will receive our free monthly bulletins a month before they appear here.

Hello, new subscriber! Your request to subscribe arrived shortly after the bulletin was sent out. So here it is, a few days late, personally mailed to you. Enjoy!

PLENTY MORE IN ’24

Happy New Year! We’ve taken the liberty of a break over the festive period, which means this is a much shorter newsletter than usual. Normal service will resume next month, when we will continue to pursue our goal of removing through traffic and other measures which would make the park an even better place to ride your bike. For a reminder of our vision, see this page on our website.

We believe people working within The Royal Parks and stakeholders share our goals - and the more subscribers we have, the greater chance we have of achieving our aims. So if you know of others who might be interested in our work, ask them to sign up here.

And if Santa has brought you a new bicycle, or if you want to do your existing one a favour, then get yourself down to Sheen Cross roundabout this Saturday between 11am and 2pm, where the park’s police will be running another of their popular bike marking events. Another one is scheduled on Saturday, January 27 from 11am to 2pm, which will probably be at Roehampton Gate (check our social media closer to the event for confirmation of the location). Remember: getting your bike on the national database is a disincentive for thieves, and greatly increases the chance of your pride and joy being returned to you in the event of it being recovered following its theft.

Thanks for continuing to subscribe to these bulletins, and thank you to TRP and the park’s police for maintaining our ongoing dialogue. We couldn’t do anything without help from you all!

All the best,

Richmond Park Cyclists
