This is an umbrella group that encompasses all the cycling groups in Cheshire East. The last meeting took place on 8th September 09 and the CECC is always happy to hear of any representations you might wish to make on cycling matters, to present to subsequent meetings.
The next meeting
The next meeting of the Congleton Cycling Campaign wil take place on Tuesday 23rd March, upstairs at the Beartown Tap, Willow Street at 20.00.

One simple cost-effective action to encourage cycling in Congleton:
Signs! Cheshire East - are you listening? We have the cycle routes (see our map) but without the map, how do you know where to go? Destination signs are cheaper and simpler than altering highways or constructing cycle lanes...so why haven't we got any? They only cost about £80 each.
Those of you reading this - please ask the council, and keep asking, by letter, e-mail, phone, or by attending meetings, or all of these. Let them know what we need in Congleton - clearly signed cycling routes. More cycling means faster journeys, a fitter population, reduced congestion and more car parking spaces. A win-win situation for the town. After all, even Jeremy Clarkson cycles...
Regular social ride: To the Farmers' Market, Rode Hall on the first Saturday of every month. The rides resume in February (no market or ride in January). Social rides - more...
Next meeting: Thursday 18th February 10, 7.00pm at Congleton Rugby Club. To report on the progress being made with Cheshire East Council and other bodies. News and meetings - more...

Congleton Cycling Campaign
is a group of people who would like to see conditions improve for cycling in and around Congleton for workers, shoppers and school children.
We aim to promote and encourage cycling in all its forms and to try to get the local authorities to facilitate safe cycling.
We work with other cycle groups and clubs as well as the transport charity SUSTRANS to represent the interests of local cyclists.
Why cycle?
- Cycling is often quicker than using a car.
- Regular cyclists enjoy a fitness level equal to that of someone 10 years younger.
- Cycling reduces the risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes.
- Cycling can reduce the levels of stress, depression and improve your self-esteem.
- To reduce congestion and pollution.
The Congleton Cycling Campaign has produced a handy cycling map (see below) to help cyclists plan trips around and through Congleton.
This map shows national and local on/off road cycling routes. You can obtain this free cycling map from Congleton Library, Congleton Tourist Information Centre and some cycle shops.
