Together with groups across our region, we want to tackle the issues that stop people cycling. Some of these barriers are very obvious: physical obstructions that prevent access to cycle routes for all types of riders and cycles. Please support our work to enable safe and accessible cycling for all.

Situation
Increasing rates of walking and cycling reduces carbon emissions, air pollution and road danger. Increasing active travel will improve the health, wellbeing, independence and quality of life for all in our community, even those who do not cycle or walk. However, many in our region face barriers that prevent them from taking up active travel. We need to support communities across the region to identify and remove the physical barriers that prevent cycling for all.
Solution
Local people are best placed to identify the barriers to cycling and walking in their communities. However, they often lack the technical and policy knowledge to develop proposals for more suitable infrastructure. Camcycle has successfully worked for the removal of many obstructive and exclusionary barriers and is building good links with groups across the region. We want to support them with the advice, resources and education that will lead to effective campaigns.
