Lambeth is one of the leading cycling boroughs in London and has won awards for various projects including its HGV/cycle training and secure residential cycle parking.  There are more and more cyclists on the road – but the majority are young to middle-aged men.

Lambeth wants to make a leap forward to become a place where cycling is normal for everyone – young, old, women, men, rich and poor.  Lambeth hopes that the Mayor’s recent Vision for Cycling will be an opportunity to tackle main roads and junctions which have put many people off cycling and we believe that the time is right to make a big difference to cycling in the borough.

You are invited to this free half day conference to hear about projects that are happening now in Lambeth – and to have a say about what should be done in the next few years. 
The conference aims to discuss what a cycle friendly Lambeth would be like - what should the priorities be to get there, what are the barriers at the moment and how can we all tackle them.

We want to make Lambeth the most cycle friendly borough in London.  Come along to help make it happen.

Lunch and refreshments provided.
