MPs turn out in force for Parliamentary cycle safety debate

General cycling, commuting

A large turn-out of over 70 MPs attended Thursday afternoon's Parliamentary debate on cycle safety, where it was concluded that reforms were urgently needed to improve the safety of cyclists on Britain's roads.

The debate in Westminster Hall was spurred on by the recent high-profile Times newspaper Cities Fit for Cycling campaign, which included an eight-point manifesto for improving the safety of cyclists on Britain's roads and the need for long-term commitment to investing in cycling.

Nigel Wynn
Former Associate Editor

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
