Discussion on Cyclescape

Cyclescape – a member forum for discussions

We use Cyclescape for discussions. Anyone can join Cyclescape, but you have to request membership of Camcycle’s cyclescape group to take part in discussions private to the group. After confirming your account, if you define your area of interest as anywhere in or near Cambridge, you will be offered a link under the map to join.

Alternatively, assuming you are a member, contact us and we will send you a Cyclescape invitation which will automatically subscribe you to Camcycle’s Cyclescape group when you accept it.

Cyclescape is an online forum with extras:

  • It has the advantage of being much more selective about what you want to receive or discuss. You can take part in as many or as few of the discussions as you like.
  • This can be geographically based. (So for example, when you find roadworks with a ‘Cyclist Dismount’ sign, rather then sending a widely broadcast email, you can create an ‘issue’ for it which says where it is on the map.)
  • You can opt in or out of each conversation separately. Once a discussion is going you can continue it on the Cyclescape website or by email (like a more finely-grained email list) as you prefer.
  • You can also attach photos and documents to the conversation, set deadlines, and tag them (so e.g. the tag ‘dismount’ could allow you to find other instances of unwarranted cyclist dismount signs), and search. And there is a library of supporting material as well.
  • You can also say (on a map) ‘only tell me about issues in Trumpington’ or ‘tell me about discussion related to my commuting route’ etc, or get everything concerning the group.
