What is Pedals?

Pedals is a member of Cyclenation (the former Cycle Campaigns Network) and also works closely with the CTC (national cyclists' organisation) and Sustrans:
Pedals was founded in 1979 to encourage more people to use bikes and to campaign for safer and more attractive conditions for cyclists in the Nottingham area
Pedals has helped to get Nottingham one of the country's largest network of urban cycle routes and is pressing for many more facilities, especially in and across the City Centre and the north side of Nottingham, as well as linking better to nearby countryside
Pedals has helped to get hundreds of cycle stands installed locally
and also cycle lockers at several locations
Pedals campaigns for better surfaces on roads and cycle paths and for prompter attention to defects including vandalised signs and broken glass

Pedals started the Great Nottinghamshire Bike Ride in 1982, now run by Nottinghamshire County Council (since 1985)
Pedals in 1983 started the Summer Guided Rural Cycle Rides Programme, and continues to play a major part in these events, now run by the County Council (see http://www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/home/leisure/l-cycling/ruralrides.htm)
Pedals produces a newsletter twice a year to keep you informed of developments and issues for cyclists, as well as to tell members about our monthly meetings and other forthcoming events
Pedals members get a 10% discount on cash sales with selected local dealers
