We aim to help people make cycling part of their everyday lives.

What we do
We want to see Dutch or Danish-quality cycleways next to busy roads, and quieter side streets that will encourage more people to ride. We lobby local councils to try to achieve this.

• join us at Bike Meet, or

And more
Are you a pootler, a leisure rider, a tourist or a racer? We don’t arrange rides but we can plug you into local clubs that do.
• Colchester clubs and the cycling calendar.
• Local routes and a cycling map of Colchester.
• Contact us for advice on routes to and from Harwich.

Cycling maps of Colchester
Explore our town (and others in Britain) using the Cyclestreets map, the Cycling UK journey planner (best for longer trips) or the Sustrans map of the National Cycle Network. There’s also an Ordnance Survey map here. Colchester Borough Council’s Cycle Colchester team has a limited number of old-school paper maps – just ask.
• Local weather
• Local tides (based on Harwich; add 40min for the Strood at Mersea.)
Join us at Bike Meet
Come to Bike Meet – we’d love to hear your ideas. Bike Meet is held at the Old New Inn pub on the third Monday of the month at 8pm. There is safe bike parking through the car park.
Coronavirus: Because of Covid-19, we will meet by video for the foreseeable future. The web address, on the meet.jit.si platform, will be sent out on the CCC email group before the event starts. If you have any questions, please call 07758 464 958.
