Only Liverpool voted for the recumbent proposal.
What a shame. As with helmets, lights, 3cm and the rest, CTT continue to uphold the principle that 'safety' issues are best dealt with by uninformed speculation.
[EDIT: I see they voted down the lights in hillclimbs proposal too.]
I have done the all hill climb season. Haven’t come across anyone moaning about lights. The number of closed road events is very small, maybe one Open race in ten? And even those do not guarantee that the odd resident will not be on the road and don’t allow crossing of the white line if there is one. So, it was all a bit pointless.
The " closed road" events are mostly airfields (or motor-racin circuits)
??
We were talking about hill climbs… the lights proposal was to remove the need for lights on closed Road events
Ah, apologies. There were 2 motions, don't know which were passed (but surely it's insane to require lights on a Closed Road HC!?!):
12. By Yorkshire DC
Regulation 14 sections (i) and (j) Competitor’s Machine (1) (Page 341 of 2022
Hnadbook)
In each section delete the final period and add to each section the words “, the
exception being that if a
time trial (Type A or B) is held on closed roads, this is optional
for the rider and not compulsory.”
13. By Yorkshire DC
Regulation 14 sections (i) and (j) Competitor’s Machine (2) (Page 341 of 2022
Handbook)
In each section delete the final period and add to each section the words “, the
exception being that if a
hill-climb (Type A or B) is held on closed roads, this is optional
for the rider and not compulsory.”
Note: this Proposal will be withdrawn if Proposal 12 is successful
EDIT: news posted by Welsh BC Blazer:
Item 12. Lights lost. Lights will be compulsory for all events.
Item 13. Withdrawn.
