Bristol councillors will debate next week about how the city can be made safer for cyclists after thousands signed a petition. Cycling campaigners are calling for more bike lanes, secure storage and training schemes.
About 2,000 cyclists took part in a demonstration at the start of October, and more than 3,500 have petitioned for safer cycling. Bristol City Council will debate how the city’s infrastructure could be upgraded, at a full council on Tuesday, November 8, exploring potential solutions.
Campaigners are calling for a comprehensive network of safe cycling routes throughout the city, rather than the piecemeal and hodgepodge current bike lanes, many of which don’t clearly join up with other routes or stop suddenly.
