@OTBC69 @yourcolchester Google maps is pretty terrible at showing any cycle infrastructure so I wouldn't advise using it. Have you tried a cycling specific app like komoot, or even open street map? We also have a map on our website cyclecolchester.co.uk/cycle-routes/
We're so pleased to see the official unveiling of Alan Palmer Way this week. Alan was an advocate, a supporter and a friend of cycling in Colchester for many years and it's wonderful to see his name in lights!
Colchester Secure Bike Park (spokesafe.com)
@AnglianWater Hi there, please could you ensure that during the works at this location, cycle access is maintained at all times between Maldon Rd and Wellesley Rd due to this being an important, well used cycle corridor. Thank you. one.network/?GB139131340
@micky12shoes @yourcolchester I can promise you our website won't do that 😉
We're making a brand new website for Cycle Colchester and we'd like to hear what YOU want! It will be a hub of information for anyone who wants to cycle, get back into cycling or is already a regular bike rider. Survey closes this Thursday 23rd👇👇👇 surveymonkey.com/r/QMBDR9W
@micky12shoes @yourcolchester Have you filled out the survey?
⚡️eBikers: Don’t forget to look after your bike’s battery as the cold weather sets in. 🥶 Tuck them up indoors for the night to get a better charge and a longer life. If they get really cold it can cause permanent damage💀
