Save the Date - Cycling Embassy Virtual AGM, 31st July 2020

Posted by on Tuesday 30th of June 2020

Our AGM this year is, of necessity, going to be radically different. 

Rather than our usual face-to-face meetings and Infrastructure Safaris in one city, we are going online, with Virtual Infrastructure Safaris, taking a look at the new pop-up cycling infrastructure that is appearing in response to the Covid-19 crisis. 

A bike for people who aren't interested in cycling

Posted by Mark Treasure on Monday 1st of July 2019

The title of this post might sound a little bit odd - who would ride a bike, when they're not excited or interested by them? The short answer is 'the Dutch', who cycle around every day of the week in their millions on sturdy, reliable bikes that the vast majority of them will know absolutely nothing about. 

Help – my council has just won megabucks for cycling!

What do you do as a campaigner when your local authority suddenly wins a bid worth millions of pounds to invest in walking and cycling?

“Watch them spend it, obviously,” you might be thinking – but of course it’s never that simple. What if there’s a massive public ‘bikelash’? What if the political will to implement the scheme goes a bit wobbly or disappears? What if the plans are seriously flawed, or get watered down to ‘some new trees and nice paving’ during the design and consultation process?

We're Going to Cardiff for the AGM.

We're off to Cardiff for the AGM this year, on the 19th - 21st July.

Why Cardiff?

Embassy response to Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy Safety Review

Posted by Mark Treasure on Sunday 10th of June 2018

Below is the Cycling Embassy's reponse to the Department for Transport's Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy Safety Review.

Question 1

Do you have any suggestions on the way in which the current approach to development and maintenance of road signs and infrastructure impacts the safety of cyclists and other vulnerable road users?

How could it be improved?

Dear Supporter,

 

Save the date and come to Manchester!

This year we're holding our AGM in Manchester, on June 30th and 31st. We'll be doing seeing how Manchester's new attitude to cycling is playing out on the ground, and linking in with a number of events that are already planned in the area that weekend.

 

Insert Loved One Here - Valentine's Day Special

Posted by Mark Treasure on Tuesday 13th of February 2018

Last year the Embassy launched the Insert Loved One Here image creator - a tool designed to shine a light on poor or dangerous cycling environments, asking whether we would want our loved ones cycling in them.

To celebrate Valentine's Day, we've updated the tool, allowing you to show love for genuinely good cycling infrastructure - places where you really would want loved ones to cycle.

Health, physical inactivity, obesity and cycling

Posted by Mark Treasure on Monday 8th of January 2018

The New Year is traditionally the time when we renounce the excess of the festive season and make resolutions - formal or otherwise - to change our diet and to fit exercise into our busy daily lives. Resolutions that are broken all too often.
