Would the school or parents allow it these days? The only instructions given by the school was that cyclists were allowed to take off their school cap when cycling (otherwise it had to be worn when in uniform) and secondly, that we shouldn't hold onto the tailboard of lorries. The last was ignored, lorries were limited to, I think, 20mph, and there was a long hill to climb on the way home!English Pensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15271488641341955140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3083855923964640893.post-44222742144363325562013-01-11T18:58:05.855+00:002013-01-11T18:58:05.855+00:00It's just fear of being sued if anything happe...It's just fear of being sued if anything happens :( JuliaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07844126589712842477noreply@blogger.com
