The Bideford Cycling Campaign is a group within the Bideford Sustainability Group and we believe that cycling should be the simplest, easiest, and most convenient way to get around and between Bideford, East-the-Water, Northam, Westward Ho! and Appledore.
A network of direct, well-designed, and separated cycle routes, away from fast traffic, would enable anyone to cycle - men and women, old and young, rich and poor. This is our mission because we believe that cycling can contribute to making Bideford a less congested, fitter, leaner, greener, cleaner, quieter and above all happier place.
Our primary aim is for well-designed and properly implemented bicycle infrastructure, to encourage and enable everyone to ride. Cycling should be the quickest, most direct way to get to shops, workplaces and schools and local cycle routes should be integrated with longer-distance transport like trains and buses to allow for long-distance car-free travel. By freeing up space for both pedestrians and bicycles in our towns, more people can travel actively and leave their cars at home, making for a more pleasant and enjoyable place for us all to live.
