Bristol Cycling Infographics +
Here at Bristol Cycling, we love an infographic. Recently we have had a lot of emails from people asking if they can use the infographics we have produced. The short answer is an overwhelming YES! The only reason we put these together is so they will be shared. We don't make any money from advertising, clicks or copyright, our primary purpose is to make Bristol better for cycling. We want our messages to be spread… Read More
A Modest Proposal #2: Bristol Promenades Routes +
We've been given agreement to share with you some plans that we have been helping with for Promenade Routes in Bristol. These are a set of proposals by John Grimshaw to enhance all of Bristol’s waterside quays, towpaths and walkways to create popular promenades to further promote walking and cycling in the area. Bristol’s riversides and docks have long been a popular place to cycle because they are attractive, central and flat. This project aims… Read More

Let's not beat around the bush, our continental neighbours by and large do cycling and walking infrastructure much better than us. Yet for some reason we ignore them and try to reinvent the… Read More
A Modest Proposal #3: Inner Loop Proposal +
The Bristol Cycling Campaign is putting together a proposal to City Hall for a segregated loop around the city centre. The Inner Loop Cycleway will link the new and established radial routes and help cyclists safely negotiate the ‘tarmac collar’ of the city’s motor traffic dominated Inner Ring Road. There's a map and key here. The proposed route will be designed to the Dutch standard, sections of it already exist through earlier developments. What follows… Read More
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.
