The Newcastle Cycling Campaign witnessed some political panache during BikeWeek when leading city chiefs took up the challenge to cycle the city.
Cllr Nick Forbes (leader of the Newcastle City Council), Cllr Henri Murison (Cabinet for Quality of Life) and Cllr Nigel Todd (Cabinet Deputy for Environment and Transport) – amongst many others – saddled up to show their support for city cycling. And they really did - with enormous elegance and ease.
We decided to try something different for national BikeWeek and have organised an opportunity for our decision makers to saddle up and show their support for city cycling! The actual challenge for our city chiefs is in participating on the day.
Please come along, bring your family, your camera… and chat to your councillors!

It’s National BikeWeek, and how best to support cycling by saddling up yourself! And that’s exactly what the Newcastle Cycling Campaign asked bosses of Newcastle City Council.
