Sainsbury's win 'Be Good to Bikers' award

Posted : 01-09-2006

Organisers of the KillSpills Rally have awarded Sainsbury's the Achievement in Reducing Diesel Spills award.

Sainsbury's was chosen from a field comprising of road hauliers, utility companies and other supermarkets.

The award was made with just a week to go until London's largest ever motorcycle rally, expected to attract over 3,500 motorcycle and scooter riders.

KillSpills team leader Stephen Edwards said: "It was a difficult decision because I'm pleased to say the quality of the entries proves that our message has got home and people are getting the message, but Sainsbury's just had that little bit extra and we hope this will set and example and raise the standard further still."

The rally is to start at the Ace Cafe and end at the houses of parliament and is meant to draw attention to the danger that diesel spills pose to the UK's 1.2 million motorcycle and scooter riders.

Between 2000 and 2004 there were 467 serious accidents and 16 deaths caused by diesel or oil spills on the road.
