Building understanding between drivers and cyclists

On Sunday, First Bus are running an event to build understanding between drivers and cyclists.

You'll be able to sit behind the wheel of a bus, speak with bus drivers, other First Bus staff and the police who will be present to give safety advice and promote bike security. Bus drivers will be on hand to talk to you, to understand more about how you feel about cycling near buses. The intention is to build mutual understanding and awareness.

Dr Bike and the Travelwest team will be there to talk about bike maintenance and cycle routes.

There will also be the opportunity to win cycle tool kits, hi-viz jackets and bus tickets.

The event is on Sunday 6 July 2014 between 10am and 4pm at the Lloyds Amphitheatre, Bristol Harbourside.
