Thank you for joining our social ride!
Thank you to everyone who managed to join us for our social ride from Creek Road car park, cycling gently along the sea front to the Ferry Boat Inn, with a detour via the Saltmarsh Lane footpath that we are working to upgrade to cycling. I counted about 30 of us, so we split up into 2 groups. Continue reading “Thank you for joining our social ride!”

Cycle Hayling update – March 2019
Since 2016, we’ve been publishing a monthly Cycle Hayling column in the Hayling Islander to keep everyone up to date with what’s going on (which we now publish on our website for anyone who doesn’t get the Islander).
However, as that’s aimed at the general public, we can’t always speak as freely as we’d like, and so we haven’t kept our supporters or our web site updated as much as we should have.
So here’s a summary of what’s been going on, to save you reading the whole website (which you’ll see we’re gradually updating). A lot has happened, so you can click any heading below to see it in bite-sized chunks ….

Hayling Islander column March 2019
This is our Hayling Islander column for February (excluding any editing by the Islander, images may differ).
Cycle Hayling says Hayling’s as flat as Holland, so why don’t we have Dutch style cycling?!
In Holland, a third of all short journeys are by bike. Hayling is compact, and just as flat, so we ask why can’t Hayling go Dutch too? Continue reading “Hayling Islander column March 2019”
Hayling Islander column February 2019
This is our Hayling Islander column for February (excluding any editing by the Islander, images may differ).
Cycle Hayling launches our new website and ‘Smooth the Path’ campaign.
Smooth the Path
Does Hayling deserve smooth, all-weather paths that can be used safely by everyone? Not just by cyclists, but by parents walking with buggies, kids with scooters and balance bikes, wheelchairs, disabled buggies, and even people who struggle with balance? Like the ones on the mainland in Havant?
Because Hampshire County Council says we don’t.
And that’s why Cycle Hayling is launching our new 2019 website with our ‘Smooth the Path’ campaign.

Havant’s new Cycling and Walking Plan!
Havant Borough Council has announced that it will be starting work on a formal Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan shortly.
This is REALLY important because :
- A formal plan unlocks much more future government funding
- Implementing it becomes a formal policy of the whole council, not just the cycling team
- It forces developers to show how their housing plans fit into OUR bigger plan
- It forces all of us to plan for the best long term solution, rather than just for quick wins
