4.1

Thoughts on the Cycle Network, from how the "Wednesday Wheelies" get around the South

Stephen Wood spoke on behalf of the "Wednesday Wheelies" regarding the Cycle Network and how the cycling group is finding routes to get around town.

Mr Wood noted that there is a variety of categories of cyclist, ranging from nervous to confident. The "Wednesday Wheelies” cycling group caters to interested but concerned riders and provides rides for around 40 cyclists per week in groups of ten to twelve with leaders along mapped routes. The group uses major cycle routes where these are available and tries to find connections between routes that avoid major arterials.

Mr Wood encouraged the Board to look at safer speed limits on roads and to provide better connections to major cycle routes where possible.

After questions from members, the Chairperson thanked Mr Wood for his presentation.
