For more, better and safer cycling in and around Cambridge
Support our work and help create a vibrant and people-friendly city!
Each year, our charity makes a difference to those who work, live and travel in and around the city of Cambridge. Many of the cycling facilities such as paths, lanes, cycle parks and bridges would not exist without the campaigning of our dedicated team of staff and volunteers.
We continue to work closely with local politicians, businesses and other organisations to represent the views of cyclists in Cambridge and to create a healthy, sustainable and congestion-free city. Read more about what we do, or join today and become one of over 1,500 members.
What lessons can we learn from those who live a low-car life? What insights could help decision-makers enable more people to choose active travel or build communities that don’t entrench car dependency?
Camcycle’s March meeting is the first in a series of events about Sustainable Communities. Our Communications Officer Anna Williams was joined by Yasmin Emerson and Helen Mulligan to share stories of living low-car lives with young families. They talk about their motivations behind living without a car, the benefits of 15-minute communities (where many shops and services are within a 15-minute walk or cycle ride) and the delights and challenges of carrying children by cycle and using public transport.
The meeting also includes a round-up of the latest Camcycle news and campaigning issues from our Executive Director Roxanne De Beaux, who gives updates on the A14 bridge barriers and Mill Road, and shares information about the upcoming elections, potholes, cycle theft, School Streets and our cycling policies.
The next Camcycle meeting will be held online on Tuesday 6 April, when we’ll be holding a hustings event for the candidates running to be the next Mayor of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.
