Cheshire East Cycling Programme 2010
The cycle campaign groups and the local cycling clubs in Cheshire East have joined together to create the Cheshire East Cycling Campaign. This affiliation of organisations wishes to promote cycling as a way of cutting congestion on our roads, reducing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and improving the health of the residents of Cheshire East.
Supported by Cheshire East Council, the CECC has planned a number of spring and summer rides in 2010 throughout eastern Cheshire. These rides will introduce new cyclists or reacquaint returning cyclists to the pleasures of cycling for work, school, shopping or leisure.
We hope that you will take advantage of these rides and we look forward to seeing you during the coming year.

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. We are also members of the Cheshire East Cycling Campaign/Forum and Cyclenation.
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.
