Good morning Cycling City!

Welcome to the Cycling City cycling advisers' blog! This is the online home of Bristol’s first dedicated team of cycling advisers, who will be doing their bit to help the Cycling City project double the number of cyclists in the city by 2011.

The Cycling City project will see an investment of over 20 million pounds in the city over the next couple of years. Some of that will be spent on improving infrastructure (you can see a map with details here) and some of it is to help individuals to get on their bikes. Our cycling advisors can offer you free advice on what bike to buy, tips on road safety, advice about routes, mechanical advice or even just some company on your first bike ride. As the project (and hopefully the weather!) warms up we’ll also be out and about at various events, and we’ll be hosting some of our own bike-themed fun so keep an eye out…

We're currently working in the Bishopston area, where we’ll be offering our unique brand of advice, support and some practical help to all you lucky residents. If you live in Bishopston (or anywhere else in the city) and would like to meet one of our cycling advisors you can set up an appointment – just give us a call on 0117 315 5110 or drop us an email to info@cyclingcityclub.com. Our advisors will be happy to call round at a time that suits you and spend half an hour looking at how we can help you get back on your bike.
