Help Create New Cycling Route Maps in Preston
Event Location: Grange Park Hub Ribbleton
We’re working to make cycling safer and easier in Preston – and we need YOUR help!
Join our Cycle Route Map-Making Sessions with Preston-based artist, Gavin Renshaw and share your local knowledge to help design a better, more accessible cycling network for everyone. The sessions promise to be fun and creative events where we will work together to map out cycling routes in our community. Whether you're a regular cyclist or want to cycle more often, this event is for you!
What will we be doing at the map making session?
We will look at large scale map of the local area and mark up the cycling journeys we often make, and discover the safest and quietest ways of doing them; the danger/hazards we avoid; and the improvements to cycling infrastructure we would like to see.
Let's highlight best commuting routes, identify new routes, and local landmarks that will make our cycling maps unique. Bring your enthusiasm for getting out on your bike more, and let's create something special together. See you there!
