Here’s an interesting link that we missed last year about forgotten cycleways that need rejuvenating.
How 80 forgotten 1930s cycleways could transform UK cycling.
Helmsley and Pickering Tour de Yorkshire business and community roadshows
Businesses, community and cycling groups across Yorkshire are being invited to a series of Tour de Yorkshire roadshows as the county gears up to host the major international cycle race. Helmsley and Pickering are delighted to have the race pass through their towns on Saturday 5 May.
The roadshows, delivered by Welcome to Yorkshire, are a great opportunity to come along and find out more about what is happening in Helmsley, Pickering and across the region during the Tour. The sessions will include a short presentation, detailed information of the new route, advice on how to make the most of this world-class event and a Q&A opportunity. They will also give advice around brand guidelines and how your business and community can make the most of the opportunity.

What is stopping women from cycling?
The bicycle was once a symbol of women’s emancipation, with suffragettes taking to two wheels to spread their message of equal rights. But the latest figures show a big gender divide when it comes to cycling. Why?
Ryedale Bridge Closure
A Ryedale bridge is set to close to traffic for about six weeks while it is repaired and resurfaced.
The closure of Kirkham bridge could mean a significant round-trip for visitors and residents of the village looking to cross the Derwent, with the nearest bridges being at Norton to the north and Howsham to the south.
Work on Kirkham Bridge is due to start on Monday, January 22. The road will be closed to traffic for the duration of the works with a signed diversion via Westow, Barton-le-Willows and the A64.
A Source of Inspiration?
A new safe link for walkers and cyclists opens in North Dorset, a source of inspiration for similar groups in Ryedale.
