As you might be aware, there is a consultation regarding the "town centre shared space". The shared space has been in force for nearly two years without incident, but there's a real possibility of it being revoked.
I urge you, as a sensible law abiding cyclist to make yourself heard by reading the webpage and then filling in the online form. It only takes a few minutes but the outcome will have ramifications for years to come.

If you know of any cyclists in and around the Woking area, please send them a link.
Also:
The Woking News and Mail are keen to do a photo on Sat 20th November 2010 at 10am outside the council office (by the theatre entrance) to give the cyclist perspective on recent articles against shared used in the town centre. We urgently need a good turn out of older cyclists, women, children and anybody that doesn't look like they would run over a defenceless blind or old person.
Turn up and defend your reputation as a polite and considerate cyclist. Stand up for older, younger and less confident cyclists. Bring your friends, neighbours, anybody who cycles or would like to cycle.
This is not just about the Town Centre. Do you expect a blind person to get out of your way? Do you cycle through town at 20 mph? This is what Councillors are being told. These allegations will affect any future investment in cycling infrastructure in Woking and waste money that could be spent saving lives and reducing real injuries.
If you cant make the photo then please still fill in the consultation (obviously only local residents are able to participate!)

Already filled it in. For shared space, against segregated lanes. The sharing seems to be working very well, as far as I can tell. Cyclists are being considerate, working round peds - exactly as one would hope from those liberated from their tin cans
