Cycling Campaign Regular Meetings

Posted on April 13, 2011 by admin Posted in meetings 1 Comment

Date:     Tuesday 19 April, 7.30pm
Where:  Baydale Beck Public House, Coniscliffe Road.

One thing that cropped up at our recent AGM was the need for regular get-togethers. Members want to be able to keep in touch and have their say. So your committee have agreed that in future we will meet regularly at the Baydale Beck Pub, a short, pleasant ride out from town, good beer, and food if you want it. Anyone interested in helping the Cycling Campaign with its work is welcome to come and join us. Dates of future meetings will be posted here in the near future.

2011 Annual General Meeting – 18th February

Posted on February 15, 2011 by admin Posted in admin, meetings

The Darlington Cycling Campaign is holding its Annual General Meeting this Friday, 18 February at  Darlington Media Workshop, (behind the Arts Centre, Vane Terrace). The meeting will provide an overview of what has been achieved for cyclists in Darlington throughout 2010 and will include an illustrated talk featuring current examples of Darlington’s cycling infrastructure demonstrating what has and has not been achieved. This will be followed by a question and answer session.

Darlington Cycling Campaign Chair Nick Bagshaw said:
“With savage cuts looming for all public sector organizations, it is more important than ever that people take every opportunity to voice their concerns and draw attention to the issues that impact upon their daily lives. More and more people are considering using their bicycle for that short trip to the shops or to get to work. The question is does our current and planned future provision for the everyday cyclist meet that need? This is where the work of the Darlington Cycling Campaign is focused, to raise the concerns of local cyclists with the decision makers”.
    
The message then, is simple – if you love riding your bike, ride a bike for the convenience it offers, or would like to ride your bike more often, but have concerns about doing so, then come along this Friday and share your thoughts with some fellow cyclists.  We look forward to meeting you.

Entry is open to all and secure cycle parking is available at the Arts Centre
The event is being held at Darlington Arts Centre on Friday 18th February, starting from 7.30pm in the Media Workshop, Entry is free and open to all.

Vancouver: Preparing a Cycling City

Posted on June 25, 2010 by admin Posted in inspiration, meetings, politics, Vancouver


A Cycling Campaign Talk with Bonnie Fenton, former Chair of the City of Vancouver’s Bicycle Advisory Committee

When: Friday, 2nd July 2010, 7 pm
Where: Darlington Media Workshop (Arts Centre)

How does Darlington compare with other towns and cities around the world that are starting out, from a low base, to make cycling a popular everyday means of transport? Vancouver, in British Columbia, Canada, is a city with a similar transport history to ours. But a new regime is trying to change things. On entering office at the end of 2008, Vancouver’s centre-left local government pledged to make Vancouver the greenest city in the world by 2020 and cycling is part of that plan. Vancouver currently has a cycling mode share of about 4% and has set a goal of 10% by 2020.

Cycling advocacy was a rather slow slog for many years in Vancouver but the seeds that have been sown seem finally to be bearing fruit. Bonnie will take a look at the development of cycling in Vancouver (and the Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition) over the past 10-15 years. She will touch on issues like:

* getting started: making friends at city (town) hall
* knowing what you want: with car traffic or separated facilities?
* reaching the non-converted: education and promotion
* the money question: can we afford (not) to do it?
* “the next Paris”: public bike sharing
* signs of progress: peer pressure forces and two Vancouver city councillors to take a cycling skills course

Many of these issues are central to Darlington as well, and reflect much of the work of the Cycling Campaign here:

* consulting with the council over infrastructure
* cycling in the Pedestrian Heart
* arguing for good cycling infrastructure on main and busy roads
* the film and book “Beauty and the Bike“ (which has already been screened in Vancouver!)
* our Bike Hire scheme Darlovelo (10 bikes, rising to 30 bikes soon)

Come along and meet Bonnie next Friday evening, July 2nd, at 7pm, and enjoy a rare chance to meet a cycling advocate from across the ocean.

2010 AGM

Posted on March 22, 2010 by admin Posted in admin, meetings 1 Comment

Darlington Cycling Campaign is holding their Annual General Meeting at 7pm on Monday 29 March at the Media Workshop (behind Darlington Arts Centre). Whether you ride a bike or simply have an interest in cycling as a means of everyday transport and sheer good fun, then Darlington Cycling Campaign would like to meet you.

As well as electing members to the committee, the meeting will set out its aims for the coming year and give some information on the exciting new project darLOVElo. This is your chance to help influence the way the needs of all types of cyclists will be met by Darlington Borough Council this year beyond. So, whatever your interest – more cycle parking, dealing with dangerous potholes or the provision of safe cycle lanes that actually take you to where you want to ride, then the Darlington Cycling Campaign is for you. Membership is currently free, but this may change, and the emphasis is on having fun for a good cause.

Darlington Cycling Campaign’s 2010 Annual General Meeting. 7pm on Monday 29 March at the Media Workshop (behind Darlington Arts Centre). Cycle parking is available at the Arts Centre.
