York initiatives gather pace


The police cycle squad is declared a success, and child cycle training is rolled out to all ten-year-olds...

The two stories follow from the continued success of York's cycling paramedic - which we reported in Velo Vision Issue 3 and who keeps getting positive coverage in the local news:

Evening Press paramedic story

Now, the York Evening Press reports on how the six-month trial for cycling police has been a success:

Cycling cops ride high in the saddle

and also on how schools throughout the city will be offering cycle training to Year 5 pupils:

Having a wheel of a time

All this activity no doubt helps explain why York has one of the highest levels of cycle useage in the country. A timely reminder that utility cycling doesn't have to be in decline as this government report suggests.

  • What on earth has that got to do with anything? Anyway, I have a video recording of Look North's (local TV evening news in these parts)little piece last night (Feb 5th). It was snowing heavily when the BBC came to film the piece, but Nigel and Steve still managed to fly down a not insubstantial flight of stairs, and through one of York's narrow (less that 1 metre) 'snickleways' with fulkl sirens and lights. The anchor teams faces were a sight as the report finished, a real "What the hell was that?" expression!
