As with many events the Weymouth Bike Night has fallen foul of the weather this year and numbers have been lower than they were previously. From classics to modern customs, scooters, bikes or trikes it is a social time in a beautiful setting on the harbourside.

Many of the public enjoy seeing the somewhat eclectic mix and when it is a good turn out, a fantastic atmosphere is guaranteed.

It will never be as big as Bike Night at Poole but I think that’s part of the charm of our Bike Night. There is a small donation which goes to the air ambulance, a valuable resource what ever your choice of lifestyle.

To the point of my letter: a big thank you to Brian, Charlie and the other helpers who organise this event, cordon off the spaces, which tends to mean running the gauntlet with other vehicle drivers who find our presence an inconvenience. The last Weymouth Bike night this year is next Thursday, September 27 and I for one look forward to its start again in April.

Thank you and ride safe.
