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.

Cardiff is the first UK city to approve higher parking charges for larger, more-polluting vehicles like SUVs.

SUVs make up over 60% of new cars sold in the UK, but are 14% more likely to kill a pedestrian or cyclist and 77% more likely to kill a child.

Plans for parking premium on SUVs and diesel cars in Cardiff given the go-ahead
Cardiff Council's cabinet members approved plans that will see parking in the city overhauled and a new surcharge brought in for larger and more polluting vehicles

"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."

We think that a new active travel link from Girton to Histon & Impington would be transformative for local residents and help the whole area to thrive.
