Camcycle is launching the first ever 'Cambridge Festival of Cycling' which we plan to grow into a recurring festival in September each year.
Along with a range of events, we also plan to conduct a month long Cambridge Cycling Survey.
The aims of the festival:
- Increase awareness of Camcycle leading to more members, volunteers and influence, particularly among new audiences
- Encourage more, better and safer cycling, for all ages and abilities
- Increase our income thorough sponsorship opportunities
- Increase engagement with our campaigning activities
- Create relationships with other community groups who can partner with us on festival events.
Cycle 'parking' consists of pairs of bikes leaned against each other in shelters next to the bins.

Demolition of existing buildings at 211-213 Newmarket Road and construction of a hotel (C1 use), with change of use and conversion of 2 Godesdone Road to C1 use, and provision of associated infrastructure.
D&A claims that cycle parking is provided in rear garden as shown on layout plan.
Layout plan does not show cycle parking.
It does show that access to the rear garden is narrowed to no wider than 70cm on one side of the house and 45cm on the other side. Therefore the rear garden is not accessible with any kind of bike.

D&A paragraph 4.18:
The following measures to provide accessibility by foot
and cycle are proposed:
• Provision of pedestrian/cycle links through the site;
• Internal road layout design to ensure low traffic
speeds. The design promotes safe walking and high
permeability through the site, and limit potential for
anti-social behaviour;
• Particular attention to be paid to surface quality, and
sufficient ‘overlook’ to provide a sense of safety and
security for users; and
• Appropriate signage and crossing points of roads
through the development, to include dropped kerbs,
tactile paving and guardrails as appropriate.
4.24 In accordance with Policy TI/3, the minimum internal
size of garages are 3.3m x 6m. These garages are large
enough to accommodate a cycle.
4.25 Dwellings that do not have garages have been provided
with a 1.8m x 0.9m cycle store in their private gardens.

Air quality in central Cambridge is not as good as it should be. The city is not compliant with EU limit values or UK national air quality objectives for nitrogen dioxide in the city centre and on busy roads – although it is improving slowly. The City Council's Air Quality Action Plan was approved unanimously at Environment Scrutiny Committee on March 13 and they are now opening it out to consultation (21 June - 18 September 2018).
Many of the proposed actions are of interest to Camcycle, but in particular:
• Reducing Heavy Goods Vehicles emissions in the city centre by promoting ‘greener’ methods for making deliveries of goods, such as by cycle or electric vehicles
• Using planning policies to ensure new communities are designed to make it easy for people to use sustainable modes of transport
• Improving public health by providing information about the health impacts of air quality and encouraging everyone to have a more active lifestyle, including walking and cycling

The cycle park at the station seems to be under a crime wave. Each day more of the sheffield stands are just unbolted from the ground (should this even be possible?). Some have parts of bikes left on them. There are also a lot of bikes with missing wheels, saddles etc.
The entire unit seems to be neglected now. Dust is building up on the steps and ramps.
Also the area leading the way from the first floor to the second floor is always blocked by sheffield stands that should be removed. Currently only one bike can get through at a time and even me at 5'6" am likely to bang my head on the black cabinet sticking out.
Claims 8 cycle parking spaces - shows three Sheffield stands mounted too closely to a wall.

The link from Barton Road to the Lammas Land car park (and the car park itself) have been closed to all use by the County Council for some development work. This is a buisy cycle route, and no effort has been put into providing a diversion. Currently most people are cycling across the grass behind the hedge beside the road (though how long this will remain possible if it rains is unclear); an alternative is to use other paths across Lammas Land, but they are narrow, not actually marked for cycling, and it's further.
According to a notice at the junction with Barton Road this work will continue to the start of December. There was and is no warning when approaching from east of the river.
