Exeter Cycling

What is the Exeter cycling Campaign? 🧵 1/ We are a registered charity working to ensure our lovely city thrives & that people are enabled to cycle, scoot & walk. We believe that cycling to school, work or the shops should not require bravery. RT welcome 😀

If you think we've gone quiet on here - it's because we are migrating our content to Blue Sky. We hope to see you there. Follow us on Exeter Cycling Campaign (@exetercycling.bsky.social) — Bluesky

Check out our latest newsletter with key information about the Boniface Trail. Why not encourage a cycling friend or colleague to sign up for our emails? It'd be great to have more people on board. us13.campaign-archive.com/?u=bc968f15b6f…

Saving the world, one bike ride at a time.

You know what to do...

...and a "Quiet Route" from Newton St Cyres to Cowley Bridge. Benefits: ● Better connectivity to Newton St Cyres train station ● Removes challenging and expensive route-building through narrow parts of A377 west of Newton St. Cyres.

● Bring superceded structures, including a bridge over the River Yeo, back into beneficial use ● The opportunity to use existing verges to minimise the requirement to purchase land.

We have just three weeks left to send in our response to the Devon County Council consultation on routes for the Boniface Trail (Crediton to Exeter) - devon.gov.uk/.../consultati…, so do let us know thoughts about our draft response by email to info@exetercyclingcampaign.org.uk

Many of the food delivery machines involved in close calls with pedestrians are not bicycles. They are illegal electric motorbikes. Not a cycling issue: a law enforcement issue. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@stuarthughes747 @activetraveleng Very happy to help in your considerations on this

@activetraveleng We will take a look to see if a CYCLOPs junction would work in Exeter … Watch this space

Have you spotted a CYCLOPs junction recently? By separating people walking, wheeling and cycling from motor traffic, we can make routes safer and easier to use for all road users, just like this one in Cambridge 🚶🦽🚴🛴🚗

What a lovely name. The all ability cycling club.

@DartmoorDevon are asking for help with developing active travel plans. Suggestions for improved accessibility for walking, wheeling and cycling can be made on an interactive map. Load your suggestions here: survey123.arcgis.com/share/7a43fd20…

Also, NEVER FORGET that Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally AGAINST downtown bike-lanes, later became one of their most vigourous supporters, because of EVIDENCE that bike-lanes are better for downtown business than any street parking they replace.

@DavidZipper @2wheelsgoodBrum For context, this is the biggest annual reduction in road casualties ever seen in the UK (excl COVID)
