vivabrighton <strong>Issue</strong> 40. <strong>June</strong> <strong>2016</strong> EDITORIAL ................................................................................... The day I realised that I was more likely to crash into a sheep than a bus was a revelation. <strong>Viva</strong>, you see, has offices in both Lewes and <strong>Brighton</strong>: most weekdays I have to pedal between the two, and I’ve realised after two years of toiling down the Lewes Road and along the cycle path next to the A27 that I can cycle over the South Downs Way, instead. Getting to work, strangely, has become one of the highlights of my day. Sorry if that sounds smug. I never learnt to drive, you see, and now I’m wondering whether I ever will. I used to carry this gap in my skill set as a badge of shame; nowadays it can be passed off as a political commitment to sustainability. Truth be told, there are times when I feel stupid not being able to drive, especially when it could help others, but by and large there’s rarely a time I feel the lack of a car. Which makes me wonder whether all those drivers need to be so reliant on theirs. This month’s theme is ‘getting around’ and this month’s most valuable message comes from Keith Baldock, <strong>Brighton</strong> & Hove Council Safety Officer, who tells <strong>Viva</strong> that any time you spend on the road - whether that’s as a pedestrian, or a cyclist, or a motorist - is the most dangerous time of your day. So take care out there, for your sake and everyone else’s. Oh, and I’ll watch out for those sheep. Enjoy the issue... THE TEAM .....................
