CycleWight Hosts AGM Focused on Sustainable Cycling Networks
On Friday, October 11, at Newport Minster, the cycling advocacy organization CycleWight will hold its Annual General Meeting (AGM), bringing attention to the pressing issues surrounding the establishment of sustainable cycle path systems. The event will feature an esteemed guest‍ speaker—Laura Laker, a prominent UK cycling journalist and author.
An Insightful Evening with Laura Laker
Laker’s extensive experience includes interviews with pivotal figures in British cycling such as Chris Boardman, an Olympic gold medalist and National Active Travel Commissioner, along with Louise Haigh, the Secretary of State for Transport. Her acclaimed publication,Potholes and Pavements, delves into the intricacies of the National Cycle Network while addressing common obstacles in developing eco-friendly cycling routes.
A Valuable Opportunity for Island Residents
Committee member Pete Dyer emphasized that this gathering is an excellent chance for local residents to learn about national developments in cycling policy and practices. “We hope⁢ to provide insights that can facilitate enhancements in our area’s cycling infrastructure,” he stated. Councillors from across the region as well as two local Member of Parliament representatives have been invited to attend this special session featuring Laker.
Engagement with Cycling Enthusiasts
The event promises to cater not only to avid cyclists but also anyone interested in advancing biking initiatives on the Isle of Wight. Throughout this active year, CycleWight has engaged communities by organizing events such as the Merstone Cyclefest and Kidical Mass rides aimed at children’s road safety awareness while advocating for better provisions through discussions with local governing bodies.
A Wide-Ranging Experience Awaits Attendees
The AGM will include a question-and-answer segment along with information stalls providing additional resources. Attendees can participate in a raffle designed to enhance community spirit.
