Welcome to the Norwich Cycling Campaign

We campaign for better cycling infrastructure in Norwich. We are not some special sub-set of society called "cyclists", we are just people who get around by bicycle.

Almost anyone can ride a bike, it's very cheap and probably the fastest way to get around the city. It's healthy, riding a bike is good exercise and it's a very enjoyable way to travel. The only real problem is caused by traffic and in particular cars.

We need properly designed cycle tracks to keep riders separate from motor traffic, the sort of thing you'll see in many towns and cities in Europe and increasingly in the UK.

Norwich has made a start, but a lot of what's been built over the past few years is below the standard we should expect. Mobility is the mark of a free society and everyone from the young to the old deserves the right to get where they want to go safely and independently.

Cycling in Norwich

The Pedalways of Norwich form the backbone of cycling routes around the city. To be fair, they are very much a work in progress, so just how good are they? Click here for an in-depth look at the cycling infrastructure in Norwich, the wonderful, the just about ok and the downright scary.

The Longwater junction

The Longwater junction, together with the adjacent out-of-town shopping centre on the western edge of the city, has been a barrier to travel by walking and cycling for thirty years. This major strategic route to the west is about to be provided with a sub-standard, dangerous scheme. Click here for the full story.
