You want to promote safe cycling in your area. This is excellent news!
One way to help promote safe cycling – and cycling generally – is to join CTC, and possibly sign up as a Right to Ride rep.
Another way is to join a local cycling group. There are lots! Many are affiliated to the Cycle Campaign Network. Here are some I know about:
- Camden Cycling Campaign
- London Cycle Campaign
- Reading Cycle Campaign
- Warrington Cycle Campaign (home of the awesome “cycle facility of the month”
You can also support these other organisations who campaign for safer streets by reducing the danger at source:
Organisations and companies to avoid supporting:
- BRAKE
- Halfords, who see nothing wrong with selling speed camera detectors but believe all children wear helmets. Technically Britain’s biggest bicycle retailer.
If you know of a great group near you, please let me know
Here are resources on training:
- Bikeability, the UK national standards for cycle training
