Overview

This is a unique experience because there are hardly any cycle lanes in Hampshire and most people are too frightened to go on the roads. However your guide has lots of experience in running a school cycle bus and shielding children from the traffic. You will therefore be in a unique position to learn what it is like to cycle from the leafy village of Colden common, through the ancient streets of Twyford and on to Hockley link, in the knowledge that you will be protected by the cycle bus. Here you will enjoy the beauties of one of the rarest resources in the Winchester area. It’s called a cycle lane. We will laugh at the the fact that it just stops at hockley and chortle at the terrible junction design. We will guffaw at the incompetencies of HCC and explore the car focused mindsets of leaders of the council with fun quizzes and diabolical facts. This is a comedic romp through the cycling mayhem of the winchester active travel strategy.

What's included

  • A fully equipped Bike bus trailer which you can admire
  • A super caffeine charged coffee at the handle bar cafe

What to expect

You will arrive at Colden common community centre where you will meet the bike bus.
This is a fully equipped trailer to defend you against the Hampshire traffic and prevent close overtaking.
You will have a safety briefing to help you cope with the peculiarities of hampshire drivers
We will have music and cycle along to the greats "I want to ride my bicycle".
We will ride along the B3335 where all the history of the development of cycle lanes will be explained to you, the fascinating workings of local politics and and the dastardly deeds of HCC.
You will hopefully get to see the blue bike campaign, the "WOT no cycle lane" iconic sign, the lovely people of the 20's plenty crossing who will wave and cheer you by and the living blue sign communications with HCC "You can remove this sign but not the message", "just build a cycle way"
We will arrive at the handlebar cafe for coffee to stock up on caffeine for the return trip.
