Activities

Meetings

The Campaign meets regularly, usually every month. We tend to get the official business out of the way first, then open things up to get stuck into our active campaigning - detailed agendas are circulated before the meetings. We're an inclusive bunch, so we plan to rotate the meeting days and locations so as many people as possible can come, plus we get to cycle around the city and 'experience the facilities'. 

END

Don't we all love to see that word END. The people who paint it, and the planners who inscribe it on the plans - what do they think they're saying to cyclists? Good luck, now you're on your own... Sorry mate, there isn't room for you here - have to make space for two lanes of vehicles who probably won't leave enough room for you as they try to overtake. I tend to see it and think "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here".

Cycling in the city centre - worse than we thought.

This fine sunny spring evening a group of us decided to try out cycling around the centre of Leeds. The idea was to do the sort of thing a normal human might want to do in this fine city - go to the train station, bus station, and visit the splendid Peddalers' Arms ('cos it's great) - on a bike. To be honest our expectations weren't that great. Most of us already had some experience of cycling in Leeds and had a fair idea of the sort of issues we might face.
