Bath Cycling Summit is a key mini-conference to promote cycling in Bath to be held on 25th June 2010 to coincide with Bike Week. It will be held at the Guildhall and is being organised by Bath Cycling Campaign in partnership with B&NES council.

Everyone benefits from increased cycling. Cycling is good for health, reducing congestion, improving air quality, reclaiming the streets from cars, making transport more accessible and integrating with public transport. The conference will help join together public health professionals, child health professionals, highways engineers and transport planners along with cycling professionals to start talking and working together to build on the benefits of cycling.

We believe that provision for cycling in Bath lags seriously behind those of comparable historic cities, and the proportion of journeys made is correspondingly low (just 3% in 2003).

We are inviting 30 key individuals who will help the Council to map out its way forward to increase dramatically the number of cyclists and cycling journeys in Bath – to make Bath a natural cycling city.
