A Summer Sunday Social June 7th - find us from 2pm at the Turf or 1.30pm at Piazza Terracina for a companionable cycle down (not a 'led' ride as such). As always, bring a friend or make one there. Why not share what you think needs fixing and we can chew over ways to get change? fb.me/e/8G9zc9C9m

Why we oppose painted only lanes on high traffic strategic cycle routes.

Why not pop this in your diary and ask a friend or colleague along?

What an extraordinarily depressing but entirely unsurprising story - “while the number of lollipop people has fallen, the risks to children on the roads have increased”

TFW you've got a council candidate on your doorstep and can't think what to say? We've got you. Things you could talk to Exeter City Council candidates about include: 🚗20mph for Exeter 🚸Safe School streets 🚲Bike parking and bike hangars

Disabled cyclists/cargo bikers have difficuties at Bridge Rd Exeter swing bridge crossings & there's been numerous collisions at the Glasshouse La. crossing, so it's good to hear there's funding for changes. We might note that these are only being funded because they reduce wait time for drivers!

You can read our latest newsletter here: mailchi.mp/69fafa244db7... ...with updates on how to respond to the Dryden Rd consultation & our upcoming social. Why not sign up to receive it regularly?

A thread on why consultations should never be treated as referendums

We're fighting to stop a filter being removed from one of Exeter's key strategic cycle routes, the E9 at Dryden Road. Removing the filter would allow nearly 4,000 cars a day back onto the route, with just paint for protection. Our Chair James explains the issues in these short videos👇🎥.

Join us for cake, great company, a brilliant guest speaker from @londoncycling.bsky.social, and dazzling conversation about all things active travel at our annual get-together on Monday March 9. Information here: exetercyclingcampaign.org.uk/%F0%9F%9A%B2... Click, and register on the link within.

Following our campaign, DCC trialled ice treatment on Exeter cycle/walking paths. But new cycling/wheeling routes=>demand ⬆️ eg E3 Pynes Hill- Wonford-CityCentre has 000s of 🧑‍🦽🚶🚲🛴👨‍🦯journeys but remains untreated. We'll be talking to DCC about this! Where have you experienced issues this week?

"Take care, get angry, campaign for more walking/cycling paths to be treated." An important message - and not just for Exeter.

BLACK ICE WARNING! We've had email re black ice, & falls on Rifford Rd path & etc Take care, get angry, campaign for more walking/cycling paths to be treated. Councils say aim = 50% journeys🚶🚲🧑‍🦽 Shouldn't the routes be treated? www.devon.gov.uk/news/highway... goo.gl/maps/p5J9oQh...

In 2026 we'll prob have continue to counter "the Populist Playbook"(HT @brenttoderian.bsky.social) - it looks familiar! But let's press for the good stuff too eg Nurses Way/Stoke Arms roundabout. What are your top 10 priorities for a lovelier Exeter & safer cycling? bsky.app/profile/bren...

We love speaking to Councillors of all parties about making safe, cheap & easy travel a choice for everyone in #Exeter. Campaign reps were delighted to join Cllrs Neil & Tony Stevens for a chat, broadcast online. 🧵 #activetravel #cycling #walking #disabledaccess 1/

When cycling is made safe you are more likely to get MIL than MAMIL.

DILEMMA! 1/ We have a small but dedicated team of people who handle Social Media for the campaign. There is a constant dilemma about how to handle the anti pile on. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Such an important part of delivering safe cycling. Anyone in Exeter want to go to this and share the main findings?

A BIG THANK YOU to supporters who investigated & produced the press release. IF YOU have a story you think the Campaign should cover & will help our aims, please be in touch. Our press release re drivers flouting the Wonford Rd bus gate was picked up by Western Morning News & other outlets.

Cycle paths and safer streets that enable more people to walk, cycle and wheel are helping to tackle illegally high air pollution in Exeter, a new report shows.

Our response to the disappointing news that the long-awaited replacement for the Mallison Bridge on the Quay in Exeter has been cancelled. The current arrangement (alley between Cricklepit Bridge and Commercial Rd) is unsafe and crowded. Up to the council now to provide a solution.

New figures show that in the first month of enforcement (October), 5,183 motorists were issued written warnings and 69 were issued penalty notices for repeat offences after ignoring filter signs at the new Wonford Road Bus Gate.

Who agrees that we're suffering from this in Exeter?

Look what our lovely friends in Torbay are organising! Worth a trip over of you can make it.

At today's Road Safety GB National Road Safety Conf #20splenty will be presenting on how "Setting 20mph as an urban/village norm has the power to deliver one of the quickest wins for the UK and in particular England and Northern Ireland".

Always good to understand what other UK cities are doing to combat congestion and pollution and build a thriving city. Can we learn from Oxford*? *similarities: large travel to work area, university city, population size, near motorway. differences: medieval centre, complete ring road.
