We are delighted to confirm that our speaker at this year's AGM on 8 May is the cycling broadcaster and journalist, Jeremy Vine.

His Twitter feed with videos of examples of dangerous driving and bullying of cyclists during his regular cycle commute is well known.

Jeremy will be talking to us why he loves to cycle even though his friends keep telling him not to, and why he believes, if we get it right, they will all soon see sense and move to two wheels.

However he is all too aware of the opposition -- whenever cycling is mentioned on his Radio 2 show, listeners seem to ring up in a diesel-powered fury. Why do so many people hate cyclists, and what's to be done to get the haters cycling? Come and join the debate !
