take a good look at road surfaces, grip top on manhole covers. Positive bikes articles in paper instead of reporting the bad stuff like accidents and speeding. How about the good that the bike nights do, i have never seen am article about bike night. Its a massive tourist pull, i have wondered around there and seen loads of non bikers having fun.

a free bike park,preferably not tucked away round the back of some building, plenty of places to go where you don't have to pay so why pay to park. toilets and refreshments in the vicinity of the bike park as bikers like to look at bikes and pass comment as they arrive/leave while they sit with a cuppa and eat their fish and chips, just like west bay, more food outlets there than you can shake a stick at and without the bikes most would shut no doubt.............And last but not least treat the bikers like you want them there, not like some second rate citizens about to jump on the local populace for some muggings.

Just my thoughts

Couples should be banned from agreeing with eachother on the same post, it's every man for himself so you can stick your luvvy duvvy team work up your arse.
