Cycling Infrastructure – Sun 10 Mar

10 March 2013

Categories: Archive, Rides

On this ride we managed to unofficially open the new shortcut link to Filton Abbeywood station along the Concorde Way.

START: 10am Arnolfini

DESCRIPTION: Easy paced ride looking at segregated cycleways, shared spaces, crossing types, bridges and other forms of cycling infrastructure. Our in-house infrastructure guru will provide some commentary on the different examples. We hope there’ll be some lively discussion as we try to establish what’s good, bad and indifferent. Much of the ride will be around key central areas but we will also follow part of the Frome Greenway, Concorde Way and on to Henleaze before returning to the City Centre.

FOOD STOPS: Morning coffee stop; pub/cafe lunch; bring picnic if preferred

GRADE: Easy

LENGTH: 15 miles

SUITABLE FOR BEGINNERS? Yes

LEADER: Terry Miller

CONTACT No: 0117 942 4590 (home); 07810 785569 on the day only

Can we make cycling boring? +

by Dulce Pedroso. Like many of us, Bristol Cycling member Dulce Pedroso envisions a version of Bristol where cycling is everywhere. So prevalent, in fact, that talking about cycling as a mode of transport becomes so commonplace that it’s (almost) boring. A city where everyone and their grandma cycles and no one calls you ‘brave’ for cycling the morning commute. In her quest to help make that happen, Dulce is running for election onto Cycling… Read More
A Modest Proposal #6; Eight to Eighty cycling on Gloucester Road +

Did you know that Gloucester Road was one of Bristol’s busiest cycle routes (Building on success – lessons from Gloucester Road)? What’s more, the number of people cycling has doubled in the last ten years whereas motor vehicle numbers have dropped by a fifth. These facts can be seen from Department for Transport Traffic Counts. So what does this tell us? Bristol’s Cycling City money has been well spent? Not quite. Significant Cycling City money was… Read More

Why we need space for cycling on the Downs.

(To those unfamiliar with Bristol, the Clifton and Durdham Downs lie to the north of the city centre and overlook the ecologically significant Avon Gorge). We can expect between one and three thousand people to attend these… Read More
