Fixed Darlington
There’s a Surly Crosscheck fixed gear bike from Darlington on the Fixed Gear Gallery.
Darlington Cycling Campaign meeting
Other than exchanging an email or two, I know nothing about the Darlington Cycling Campaign, but the folowing is in this week’s Advertiser:
Cyclists meet: Darlington Cycling Campaign is holding a public meeting at the Red Lion pub on Tuesday at 7pm. Anyone interested in helping to improve the rights of cyclists in Darlington is welcome.
A coordinated group can only be a good thing; I’ll try to get along to the meeting. (I assume it means next Tuesday, 18th January.)
Darlington council to encourage staff to share cars
A piece in the Advertiser today describes a new website they’re running for employees to enter journey details to sacilitate car sharing. It also mentions schemes being developed to increase bike and bus lanes and to encourage children to walk/cycle to school.
I wonder how much they’re spending on the scheme, since elsewhere in the paper is an article about the £52million scheme to upgrade the bypass, so it can cope with the estimated increase in use from 20,000 cars a day to 41,000 a day by 2025…
All of the articles I’ve seen about the proposed Tesco development in the town centre mention increased car parking.
Madness.
