Great Yarmouth already has over twice the national average of commuter cyclists. For shorter journeys it is an ideal way to keep fit and healthy, as well as being a cheaper alternative to the car and cleaner for the environment. More than one million people in the UK already cycle to work because they know that cycle commuting is fast, door-to-door, great exercise, enjoyable and the ultimate green commuter choice.
Great Yarmouth Cycle Forum
The first Great Yarmouth Cycle Forum was held in April 2000 and meets quarterly in Great Yarmouth Town Hall. The aim of the group is to involve its members in future cycling schemes and initiatives as a consultee, and to encourage and promote cycling.
Members include a range of interested parties such as residents, Borough Council Planning Officers, the Town Centre Manager, the Traffic Manager for Norfolk Constabulary, Local Members and Norfolk County Council.
