Campaigns & Projects
This page outlines our current projects and campaigns...
LCN+
Part of the planned town centre network
LCN+ is a planned new network of higher-quality, strategic cycle routes, intended to compliment the existing LCN. It is the best opportunity for promoting increased cycling in the medium term.
We've been putting quite a lot of effort into fruitful discussions with LCN+ planners to ensure that LCN+ will address serious problems not originally in the project scope. Our greatest emphasis to date has been Croydon town centre, which is vital to many journeys yet currently is extremely cycle-unfriendly.
For more details see the LCN+ page.
One-Way Streets
One-way streets and banned turns are a disguised anti-cycling measure, with cycling being the only form of human-powered transport required to travel further as a result. Successful cycling boroughs have have put emphasis on permeability, adopting solutions such as re-introduction of two-way working or contraflow cycling facilities. In fact, Government advice now strongly encourages this in all cases.
However in Croydon to date, this guidance is still being disregarded and the number of one-way streets continues to increase. Our aim in 2005 is to get Croydon to recognise the harm that one-way streets and banned turns cause, and to commit to addressing the issue.
There is now an embryonic One-Way Streets campaign page.
Motorcycles in Bus Lanes

Cycling for All
Cycling for All is a project to encourage and enable cycling using tricycles, which are particularly suitable for people with disabilities and special needs. This project has gone from strength to strength, and is now in its third year.
