The South West celebrated a ‘Cycling Fortnight’ with two events in November. The Young Members Group organised a showing of the film ‘Bikes vs Cars’ at the University of Exeter, followed by a discussion sparked by the film.

The Autumn Seminar, entitled “Cycling: Who benefits?” brought in a large number of professionals across the region. With presentations focusing on economic benefits, health and infrastructure there was a wide variety of interesting and thought provoking topics discussed.

The slides are available to download here:
