6 reasons to make cycling to work your New Year's resolution +

Cycling rates are increasing year on year in Bristol. However, the motor car is still the dominant transport mode for commuting in the UK. So why not make your New Year's resolution to leave the car at home and get on your bike to and from the office. Here are 6 good reasons why it makes sense: Weight loss. Potentially the most common resolution, but how many people actually stick out the tedium of the… Read More
A Modest Proposal #4: Clanage Road Roundabout and the Festival Way +

If you want to scare yourself rigid, pop along to Clanage Road roundabout on any weekday in term time at 3.15pm. That's the time that 1,500 kids pour out of Ashton Park School and onto the fast busy roundabout on the A369. This is a key hub on the F11 Inner Orbital Cycling Freeway in the BCyC strategic cycle network and close to F8 Festival Way Quietway. BCyC members have been working with local residents… Read More

However regardless of… Read More
A Modest Proposal #5: The Bear Pit / St James Barton Roundabout +

St James Barton roundabout remains among the worst in Bristol for cyclists. This is despite the sterling work of The Bearpit Improvement Group and the recently completed £1million scheme to provde a route around the inner edge of the roundabout at street level for pedestrians and cyclists. We hope this already outdated scheme will be the last time huge budgets will be spent forcing cycles to share busy spaces with pedestrians (see BCyC Policy on… Read More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.
