Comment by Nick Williamson on May 10, 2013 at 16:57: See you there gents.

Comment by Jonathan Davis on May 10, 2013 at 12:24: Hi Andy, Zappi's CC doesn't have an official Twitter feed. You're right about@ZappisProCycling and @FlavioZappi himself (he does enjoy a good selfie!); there of course is @ZappisGranFondo (and while it is event driven, it does talk about club outings from time-to-time) :-)

Comment by Andy Dawson on May 10, 2013 at 9:24: Hi Walt. I plan to be there.

Sorry you can't make it Jonathan, it would've been good to hook up - maybe next time. On an unrelated point, does Zappi CC have a Twitter account? It's absence on Wheelsuckers Twitter list of UK CCs is glaring! I can only find Flavio's personal one and the pro team.

Comment by Walter Cundy on May 9, 2013 at 17:19: Ill go along Andy, anyone else?

Comment by Jonathan Davis on May 9, 2013 at 15:54: Thanks for posting this Andy, a shame that I have a meeting that evening already, otherwise I would have come. Hope it goes well, and that there will be other opportunities to get involved...

Cycling in Oxford - a 2020 vision

Upcoming event hosted by Cyclox.

Public meeting - all welcome

Thursday 16th May 7.30 to 9.30pm
St Michaels in the Northgate (Cornmarket St entrance)

Cycling in Oxford has bumbled along for decades. There have been piecemeal improvements to the infrastructure and Cyclox's vision for a dual network is falling into place - slowly. Recently, the Cyclox-backed '20's Plenty' campaign succeeded in getting most streets made 20mph. Nationally, interest in cycling is booming and finally, funding is beginning to flow

Starting from an already high rate of cycling (20%), there is no reason why Oxford/shire can't become the UK's No.1 cycling city/county. The time to ask is now. The question is, what to ask for. That's where you come in:

Cycling in Oxford/shire in 2020: what is your vision?
Who do we need to influence and how?

What to expect:

7:30-7.45 pm

Wine and refreshments

7:45-8.00pm:

Why Cyclox should demand more, and why now (James Styring)
What could Oxford learn from Holland? (Richard Mann)
What would a county-wide separated-cyclway network look like? (Tom Landell-Mills)

8.00-9:30 pm

Structured discussion and conclusions

Comment by Dave Nash on May 2, 2013 at 8:31: The lack of response from the Tories is quite astounding actually, but a valuable statistic to keep in mind the next time I run into David Cameron in Chipping Norton!
