A'reet?

The Newcastle Cycle Campaign is a non-profit community group that campaigns for better cycling provisions in Newcastle and the surrounding areas.

If you don't know about us then you can read the speil here:
http://www.newcycling.org/about-us

I've been a member for a few years and I think we're starting to see some genuine improvements in the attitudes to cycling here.
Most recently we've helped secure the Cycle City Ambition Funds, we've got [url= http://www.ctc.org.uk/campaign/space-for-cycling/space-for-cycling-your-councillors-views ]67% of city councilors signed up to the space4cycling goals[/url] more than any other region, and we've just held our second 200-strong space4cycling mass ride through the city centre, and this one was led by the leader of the city council.

Right now we have a great chance to grow the campaign with a bit of extra funds because The Cabinet Office is doubling every donation (up to a tenner) made to the campaign.

So in the unlikely event you have a spare tenner (or less) kicking about please consider donating it to the campaign to help us improve cycling in Newcastle:

If you don't fancy that, but like the sound of the campaign, then please consider joining. It is entirely free.

Aye, he sounds like a Mackem alright. 😉

Cheers, but they never seem that interested in reporting cycle campaigning stuff here. I guess maybe it's a bit too "road" for the target market? Which is fair enough.
