For taxpayers, every piece of cycling infrastructure is a gift that keeps on giving. An asset that returns annual savings in congestion, pollution, maintenance, safety and healthcare over its lifetime. Stop asking whether your city can afford to invest in cycling. Ask whether it can afford not to.

No more steps! 🙌 We're pleased that @nationaltrust.org.uk & the county council are planning a new bridge over Burwell Lode. It will be 3-4m wide with a max. gradient of 1:20 on the 2 access ramps. Construction is due to start in July 2026. More news soon: www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/cambri...

Don't forget that clocks go back this Sunday at 2am: adjust your cycle lighting routine as appropriate. Read more at camcycle.org.uk/lights where you can find our cycle lighting poster to share with others. Get in touch if you would like a printed version to display.

"Montreal’s bike boom is one example of how a new disruptive transport technology is rapidly changing cities across the rich world ... it is not the self-driving electric car, as tech moguls and car industry executives imagined. Rather, it is the humble bicycle." www.economist.com/internationa...
