Bristol Cycling Campaign hosted an event on Weds 9th July to review the Bristol Council Cycle Strategy and to prepare the way for the 2014 Bristol Cycling Summit, which will be in the autumn.

It was at City Hall from 5:30pm – 7:30pm on Weds 9th July.

Come along for a concise overview of what’s going on in Bristol and summary of what to expect over the coming years. This will see the opening of consultation on the official Bristol Council Cycle Strategy which will set out the response to our Bristol Cycling Manifesto.

We’re up against some stiff competition from other Bristol Cycle Festival events but this is the one that will actually enable more people to have the Freedom to Ride in Bristol.
