The next Ryedale Cycle Forum will take place via MS Teams on 23 November at 10.30am.

See agenda and previous minutes. Any new members are welcome to attend, email craig.nattress@ryedale.gov.uk for an invite.

Artist Clare Nattress is inviting voluntary participants to become ‘citizen scientists’ and assist her with the collection of ambient air pollution / matter from the environment for her PhD research at Leeds Beckett University. Clare would like participants to collect air pollution / matter via the method of attaching a Perspex disc (backed with clear adhesive tape) to the front of their bicycles / backpacks. This will be left on their bicycles or backpacks during their daily commutes and/or activities undertaken either by bicycle or on foot for at least 2 weeks. 

If you would like to be a part of this PhD research, an Ethics form will be sent to you to read and sign along with the research pack pictured. This will explain the process of collection and setup.

Please email nattressclare@hotmail.co.uk if you would like to take part in this valuable research project and be a part of her next artwork and PhD thesis.

Prior to the completion of the Malton to Pickering cycle route, members of the Ryedale cycle forum are invited to join a familiarisation ride on Tuesday 27th July, 11am starting at Malton Railway station.

If you would like to join the group ride, please email craig.nattress@ryedale.gov.uk in advance so numbers can be managed accordingly, no later than midday on Monday 26th July.
