Review of permitted cycling routes in Worcester City Centre

Sat, 05 Oct 2024 19:18:16 GMT

Danny and Rob from Bike Worcester review the permitted cycling routes through Worcester City Centre. As of October 2024, there is a set of Traffic Regulation Orders that prohibit mobility scooters, motor vehicles, and cycling between the hours of 10am and 6pm. The TRO is not enforced by West Mercia Police and Bike Worcester has suggested for many years that Worcestershire County Council review the scheme and focus on enabling routes for cycling across the City (North to South, and East to West).

Episode 1 - Bike Worcester's Bike Bus Origin Story

Mon, 17 Jun 2024 20:32:52 GMT

Welcome to the Bike Worcester podcast! In our first episode, host Rob and his partner Katie share the inspiring story of how they started the bike bus initiative in Worcester, UK.

Listen as they talk about their switch from car to cargo bike for the school run, and how it brought more joy and freedom to their family. Inspired by a similar project in Glasgow, they created a bike bus, a safe and fun convoy of parents and children cycling to school together. What began as a monthly event quickly grew into a weekly tradition with more routes and participants.

Discover how this initiative fostered a supportive community and positively impacted children's school experiences. Interested in starting a bike bus in your area? Get in touch through our website, bikeworcester.org.uk, and join us in making school runs more fun and sustainable!
