Safe cycle routes to school in Fenland: Donate NOW via the Big Give
In rural Fenland, access to higher education is half what it is in urban Cambridge. Local families have identified transport as a key barrier and have formed a campaign for a new cycle route from the village of Guyhirn to the schools and railway station in March. This would help young people attend after school activities and increase access to further and higher education institutions in Cambridge and Peterborough.
Camcycle has been supporting the Fenland Parent Power group with their campaign, sharing our strategic and technical expertise and amplifying their voice with local politicians and the media. They've achieved extraordinary progress for a rural route of this type - funding is often focused on higher population areas - and have gained the support of the Mayor, Dr Nik Johnson and Cambridgeshire County Council. The council is currently working on a feasibility study (for which Camcycle has also provided advice) and plans to hold a public consultation on the route later this year.
Please help us continue to support Fenland Parent Power so that a safe, all-year round cycle route can be delivered for their children. We're fundraising to help groups like this now via The Big Give Green Match Fund. Donate today and DOUBLE your donation, helping improve access to opportunity for young people across Cambridgeshire.
It only takes 2 minutes to give at camcycle.org.uk/biggive2024
Thank you!

    no emissions "at the source" those human riders have a carbon foot print just in the extra calories theyll need cycling every day and if those are ebike those too will have emissions from where there power comes from which unless your gathering sunlight or wind yourself purchasing "green energy" does not count because that is never guaranteed

    According history the Dutch Queen Wilhemina bought her first bike in 1894, however the Dutch government in those days actually banned her from using it in public. In 1933 that ban was lifted and the first photo was published later that year, that was a outing in Katwijk, you can find photographs of her riding. All subsequent Queens rode their bikes on a regular basis, not as gimmick but actually getting somewhere.

    Great video! Bicycles ARE the future because - let's face it - car infrastructure really isn't working is it? Just look at the massive traffic jams in every town and city up and down the country every "rush hour" if you need any further proof. I have cycled in Cambridge and it is so easy and so well planned, it is an absolute pleasure to ride there. Unfortunately I live in Norwich which is probably the least cycle-friendly city in the country. Here they still think that painting a picture of a bicycle on an existing footpath somehow makes it a bike-lane - except it doesn't .

    thia has got to be the dumbest idea for uk roads i have ever seen.... cyclists ride around with no care or attention to anything, red lights or zebra crossings and now we give them a freeway at speed around the outside of roundabouts... there is going to be sooo many accidents and dead people because of this... simply because cyclists will just go with no care or attention at all... how many kids have to die before u lose this stupid idea??????

    Great idea but badly implemented. There is no room for cars to stop safety without getting in the way, as the video clearly shows with the taxi. As a biker, I do not ride on the roads anymore. It's unsafe, and most cycle lanes are badly implemented. One road by me has had cycle lanes implemented but without widening the road, so there is no room for cars to pass without going into the cycle lane, not alone lorries that use the road too. 🫣

    Late to the party, but I see from a quick look at Crash Map that casualties here do not seem to have gone down, and they nearly all seem to be people on bikes. And - question - why does a 4x4 come to a halt right across the zebra at 22s? I'd say the 20mph signs are far too close (HWC stopping distance close) and it needs a speed table sharp level change at 30m to wake up dozy drivers in time to stop so they don't autopilot through. Good concept, but I think they have been too timid about slowing down cars given the ruler straight road approaches, and imo it needs some revision.

    Great vid. thou my view/reaction is late. The very first image puzzled me a bit, is this UK or NL. Must be Uk viewing cars on right not left. Yes, there are other clues as well. Cyclists go clockwise, cars go counter-clockwise. No wait, what ? This is interesting regarding safety. In my town there is a horrible roundabout, a - for cars : pedestrians and cyclists come from every direction, i counted 7 sources, that is not okay. b - for cyclists : for them it is only a semi-roundabout, so bi-directional, sharp corners, ugh, not okay. @ 0:22 the black car stopping on pedestrian crossing is bad. @ 0:25 the white car not giving way to tandem is a big NO. @ 0:40ish , again cars not giving way, oi! I see the same tandem, are they part of the script/test ? @ 1:20 bicycle has to stop for car leaving roundabout. ouch. @ 1:28 Ma'am with bicycle, please dont stop on the roundabout, if you have to, get off the bicycle lane. @ 1:32 lady in orange (haha) doing full circle,checks traffic right shoulder, when leaving indicating to left. Yeah, in NL you see all sorts communication, takes some time for everyone to be comfortable. Why all the helmets? Bit of a false sense of security. Sure, when hitting the pavement you wish had a helmet. When hit by car helmet or no helmet wont make a difference. Curious about the current situation. Time for a updated video ?

    Those automobile drivers totally wanted to run over the cyclists. Drivers (including those in Prius's , otherwise intelligent looking women, all shades of skin color) have increasingly lost impulse control when they are supposed to let the person walk across the street in the USA; when someone is walking or biking it means there is parking for that very driver, so give us three seconds to cross the street; not to mention the driver themselves are a biped that deserves to walk safely when on their own two feet.
