Cycle Carlisle aims to make cycling in Carlisle safe, convenient and popular. We hope to encourage people to use cycling as part of their normal daily transport and turn Carlisle into a progressive cycle-friendly City.

This manifesto has been drawn up by members of "Cycle Carlisle" to record the improvements that we wish to see for cycling in Carlisle. It is designed to reflect the wishes of all who cycle in Carlisle, and especially those who wish to cycle more. Read more

Cycle Carlisle aim to organise events that promote cycling throughout the city. Past events have included mass bike rides and a mini cycle festival in the centre of Carlisle last year. There are also regular rides out into the surrounding countryside as well as various campaigns, meetings and film screenings.

NEW MEETING Point : TULLIE ROTUNDA

“Cycling for a healthier city/Cycling for a cleaner city”

We will have our usual short ride around the city centre promoting cycling for a cleaner and healthier city and this will take less than an hour. These rides are ideal for people who have not ridden for a while and would like the security of others cycling around them and to practise cycling on city roads to gain confidence for urban journeys by bike. We look forward to seeing you there if you can make it and new riders are always welcome.

Following the ride there’ll be an opportunity to continue in conversation at Sustainable Carlisle’s Climate Cafe which will take place in the Restore building on Castle Street. This will start around 1200 if anyone wants to go straight there.
