Great new document from @cyclinguk.bsky.social which gives simple measures local authorities can take to improve cycling for women. www.cyclinguk.org/my-ride-our-...

The stupid wooden post wasn't wearing hi-viz, no wonder the poor car hit it. Seriously, how do you do that much damage driving at 20mph? The answer of course, is you don't. Pink Pedalway, the Avenues. Reported.

If you're cycling down the Avenues don't be dazzled by the newly painted white lines. The potholes are still there. Yes I have reported them, but I think they already know. Seriously, there are a few more lurking, so do be careful.

The wand-protected mandatory cycle lane on Pound Lane has FINALLY gone in, some eight months after work started.

It’s the Chinese Year of the Fire Horse, associated with “bold, decisive action”. Peter Silburn was on BBC Radio Norfolk talking about the Heartsease roundabout and how it’s a definite improvement - but bold action is needed by NCC to make Norwich a truly cycling city! youtu.be/zv8HY34aflU?...

International Women’s Day bike ride on Sunday 8th March. Meet 12:00 noon by the bandstand in Chapelfield Gardens for a circular ride around the city. All are welcome. Ride 12:30 – 1:15pm.

2023 was a bad year for cyclists being killed on Norfolk's roads. Seven people lost their lives, three in Norwich. The driver who killed Dominique Hechanova in Watton on the 1st March is now to stand trial. www.eveningnews24.co.uk/news/2585907...

We'll be at the Norwich Science Festival this Sunday. Come along and say hello! 10:30am-4:00pm (quiet hour 9:30-10:30am) in the Explorium on Millenium Plain.

After years of lobbying, the damaged wands on the Earlham Road cycle lanes have finally been replaced. The wands are a new design without the wide black base, something we have been pressing for, so we’re pleased to see this.

Better places simply cannot be delivered without LTNs. The are key to network planning and their use unlocks so much. Apart from some notable exceptions, much of the UK simply has not critically reviewed its network function which means we are tinkering with a broken system.

Longwater – a timeline of incoherence The convoluted development of cycle routes at Longwater involved Norfolk County Council seeking advice, ignoring that advice, putting effort into an ill-thought-through scheme instead... www.norwichcyclingcampaign.org/longwater-a-...

The petition for a pump track at Pilling Park has hit 1,000 signatures! Norwich doesn't yet have a pump track, where kids can ride BMX bikes, mountain bikes and scooters in a safe environment. Sign the petition here: www.change.org/p/build-a-pu...

4 year's ago today, the Highway Code changed. Did you even hear about it? The changes aimed to improve safety, but too many people still don’t know the rules. We’re urging the government to invest in an awareness campaign that actually reaches people. cyclinguk.org/hwc-4th-anniversary

This is what we need for the Longwater A47 junction!

💬 Big moment for #MyRideOurRight Yesterday, MPs from across parties debated women’s safety while walking, wheeling, cycling and running, hearing how road design must reflect real experiences and why safety fears still deter many from cycling. 🧡 cyclinguk.org/westminster-mror

Today in a Westminster Hall debate entitled “Women’s Safety While Walking, Wheeling, Cycling and Running”, Norwich North MP Alice Macdonald @alicemlabour.bsky.social highlighted our Women’s Cycling Safety Audit as a vital model for gathering data on women’s lived experience of cycling. 1/2

Fascinating analysis from the early 60s of what happens when you try to shove too much car traffic through a historic city centre, much of it still relevant today.

Too often the assumption is that making streets safer "for everyone" will naturally make cycling safer for women too. This latest blog explores why women-centred approaches are essential if cycling is truly going to be accessible to all. www.norwichcyclingcampaign.org/when-for-eve...

Latest blog (with video) on the dangerous proposals for the A47 crossing at Longwater. Norfolk CC knew in 2014 a dedicated walking and cycling bridge was essential to provide a safe crossing, so why are they still going ahead with a narrow footway? www.norwichcyclingcampaign.org/longwater-ne...

New video on the dangerous crossing being proposed for the A47 at Longwater. Norfolk CC knew in 2014 that a dedicated ped and cycling bridge was essential to provide a safe crossing, so why are we still going ahead with a narrow “get off and push” footway inches from HGVs? youtu.be/zNPzeGPXV5k?...

Teaching a child to ride a bike is a gift that they can treasure for a lifetime. But how do you support a child to make the transition from stabilisers to two wheels? Read our guide and watch the video and they'll be away in no time! 👇 buff.ly/jCXTNNk

Good turnout for the Critical Mass ride earlier this evening.

It's the last Critical Mass ride of the year this Saturday. Come as your are or come dressed as Santa! Meet 3:30pm in Chapelfield Gardens. Ride leaves at 4pm. It'll be getting dark so bring your lights. Everyone is welcome. Fairy lights and tinsel encouraged!

The Norwich Cycling Campaign review of the year is now out, so what's been happening in 2025? www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpMw...

Anyone know what's going on here? Red temporary directions with bicycle symbols on them have suddenly appeared.

Great turnout for our AGM last Tuesday. Thanks to Leah Spagatner from @walkwheelcyclet.bsky.social for her inspiring talk which touched on many topics including empowering women through cycling. Campaign chair Peter Silburn gave a review of the year, the good and the not so good.

Cool video on a Canadian cycling city that's doing great things and that ought to be more widely known.

Could Cycling Help Stop Dementia? New Study Shows Promising Results - Bike Push A ground-breaking study has revealed that regular cycling might be one of our best defences against dementia. bikepush.com/could-cyclin...

Yet ANOTHER cyclist injured by a car driver on Norwich's streets. We urgently need protected space for cycling so this stops happening. www.eveningnews24.co.uk/news/2563935...
