Turning the Wheels of Debate: WFCC Cyclists Survey
The Waltham Forest Cycling Campaign (WFCC) wants Waltham Forest's cyclists to tell them what they like, and don't like, about cycling locally. The WFCC, part of the London Cycling Campaign, organises local social rides and campaigns to make cycling better in Waltham Forest. They will be handing out survey questionnaires at the popular Tour de Waltham Forest, Sunday June 14, 10.30 am - 5 pm in Walthamstow Town Square. They want to find out what's needed most to improve cycling in the borough. And they want your views, whether you're on a rusty bike out of the shed, with the family in tow, or a Lycra-clad whippet.
The Tour de Waltham Forest features three guided rides around the borough (and to the edge of the Olympic site) for different levels of cycling ability. Rides kick off from 11 am. Also in the Town Square will be free cycle training taster lessons, music and "Dr Bike" check- ups. The WFCC will be presenting the results of the survey to key council officers and councillors, who'll also be going out on a series of bike rides with Waltham Forest Cycling Campaign volunteers during Bike Week (13-21 June) to see for themselves what's good and bad about cycling in the area. Other Bike Week events planned by the Waltham Forest Cycling Campaign include a "Bike Breakfast Ride" for hungry commuters (16 June), a ride to Borough Market (20 June) and a family bike ride (21 June). More detail on all of the events is available at www.wfcycling.org.uk
