The
UK has the lowest rate of cycling in Europe (only 3% of journeys to work
are made by bike, Eastbourne 1991 census). The UK also has one
of the highest rates of obesity and high blood pressure in Europe. Cycling
is an excellent means of keeping fit.
Bespoke aims:
• to make cycling safer in Eastbourne
• to encourage people to consider cycling
• to advise cyclists on the practicalities of safe cycling and consideration
for motorists and pedestrians
• to advise companies to make provision for their employees and customers
who might cycle
• to help transport bodies consider cyclists when planning routes /
road layouts
• to educate motorists to become more "cycle-aware"
• to form links with other groups
