Looks Promising !
I got the email too. It seems to be genuine. I've never been to the IOW, but always wanted to....Is this a spoof? I had to check that it wasn't April 1st. Britain is run by a car/motorcycle hateing bunch of wankers who will do anything to make our lives difficult, let alone allow racing on public roads, which is why the TT is held in the I.O.M. They like us to buy vehicles, pay VAT, road tax, insurance premium tax,fuel duty & more VAT then leave the overcrowded roads to fall into a disgraceful condition. They spend more money on traffic calming & cycle lanes than fixing the roads. Motorists are the lowest of the low & bicycle riders will soon have more rights.

Here in the UK many cyclists are treated like vermin.... partly because some, sadly, act like it! Long gone are the days of cycling proficiency tests in primary (5-11) schools, the Tufty Club, road safety et al...In Canada bicycle riders already have more rights , they are allowed to ignore all rules of the road , use sidewalks if street is congested , don’t need a permit or insurance and are provided free parking everywhere , plus they have special lanes painted on road for their use only , they have new special off road trails built for their use yearly in our parks , while all motor vehicles are forbidden to use them and finally they are protected by the 1 meter law , no motor vehicle can get closer than 1 meter to a bicycle , no excuses ..... if I was in better shape , read younger and didn’t live at the top of highest hill in town , I would have put both mine back on the road years ago
