Fred Hill memorial run from the ACE Cafe this Sunday (it's also British Bike day there) ...

14:00 run to Pentonville prison (ooh, picturesque!)

Got to be in Southampton in the morning so think I'll go along for about 13:00 ...

Fred Hill, a teacher of mathematics, died in prison on the 10th February 1984 aged 74. He died while fighting against bureaucratic interference with his choice to ride a motorcycle without wearing a crash helmet. He started his passive campaign in 1976 and after 31 prison sentences he suffered a heart attack and subsequently died while still in custody. Although not against the wearing of helmets, MAG believes in the fundamental right of the individual to choose.
