Description

Colchester Cycling Campaign aims to encourage cycling in the town of Colchester, UK.

We believe in cycling on the road and making the roads easier to cycle through increased driver and cyclist training, a lower default urban speed, and "strict liability" on motorists' insurance policies. This should be coupled with greater respect and tolerance - a "share the road" mentality.

We support direct off-road cycle facilities such as the Wivenhoe Trail but recognise that side-of-road facilities (either shared-use or green bike lanes) are of limited value because of their lack of efficiency, continuity, safety and maintenance.

We encourage responsible cycling, and frown on footway riding, going through red lights, and not using lights at night.

We support the use of fluorescent jackets as a way of being seen and preventing a collision. However, a decision on whether or not to wear a helmet should be left to the individual, bearing in mind the jury is still out on their effectiveness or otherwise.

We campaign for more money for cycling to fund road engineering schemes that help cyclists, especially new links, crossings, traffic calming and reduction, and shared bus/cycle lanes

More cycling - to work, to school, to the shops and for pleasure - should foster a greater spirit of neighbourliness, playing a part in bringing "caring" back into communities.
