Barnet Cycling Campaign – building a better biking borough – part of London Cycling Campaign
There will be a meeting of the Campaign Group from 7-8pm this coming Thursday. (This is before the general group meeting). Anyone interested is welcome to attend. Topics under discussion will include:
Trinity Church Hall Centre, 15 Nether St, North Finchley N12 7NN
This year, to replace the central London Freecycle event, borough groups are being encouraged to organise local events. Barnet plans to link in with an event in Enfield.
Volunteers are needed to help participate and marshal the route in Enfield. The plan is for marshals to meet and do a recce of the route on Sunday 18th May at 2pm. So if you can help, please keep this date free and also the date of the event itself – 25 May. More details to follow.
After the usual catch-up on local cycling news and a chance to have a chat over a cup of coffee, we will have a fun quiz. Some questions will be about cycling and transport – and some won’t. Stupendous prizes!

The pattern of meetings is the last Thursday of most months at 8pm. The next meeting dates are 24 April (with an AGM), 29 May, 26 June and 17 July. If you have any suggestions for topics for these meetings please get in touch – have you been on any interesting tours/rides? We can provide a projector to show pictures.
Meet: 8pm, Trinity Church Centre, Nether Street, North Finchley N12.
All welcome.
Anyone interested in cycling, active travel and campaigning to improve their areas are invited by the LCC to join them for a day exploring how to make our area a safer place for anyone to cycle, walk and wheel so that it’s greener, cleaner and healthier.

This ever popular Community Festival will be held in Cherry Tree Woods, East Finchley N2 on Sunday 22nd June 12pm-6pm.
Barnet Cycling Campaign will have a stall – and it will need volunteers! So, please put the date in your diary and be ready to step forward to help for an hour or two when the call comes.
We have been asked to draw attention to this cycling group. They travel out on the Metropolitan Line or the Thameslink Line so it would be of interest to our members on the western side of the borough.
NB THIS GROUP IS NOT PART OF THE LONDON CYCLING CAMPAIGN or BARNET CYCLISTS
Originating in Brent, the group now ranges across North West London – they organise London evening rides – the Chilterns, Watford and beyond. They do 35-45 mile circular daytime road rides at weekends, with an average speed of 14 mph (a good bit faster on the flat).
See attached flyer for more info. To find out more, do drop Matt a line at: CycloneCycling@outlook.com
The council is consulting on public footpaths, bridleways, cycle-tracks, paths within parks, open spaces, rural areas and any other paths that are not adjacent to roads.
The consultation closes on 12th March.
We encourage you all to complete the questionnaire that accompanies the consultation, which can be accessed here: Shape the way we manage paths in Barnet | Engage Barnet
We will start the meeting at 8pm with a presentation from Alex Sexton of Barnet Council to update us on plans for the ‘Barnet Loop’ linking of cycle ways and the list of possible ‘Quick Wins’. This is important, so do come along if you can. We will catch up on other local news after coffee.

This year, to replace the central London Freecycle event, borough groups are being encouraged to organise local events. Plans are uncertain as yet, but there may be an event based in Barnet, or we may join in with the Enfield group. Details will be posted when known.
