Started in 1979 to raise the profile of cycling in Nottingham, Pedals has been instrumental in establishing one of the largest urban cycling networks in the UK (see Publications). Working closely with the Local Authorities we have seen cycle lockers established in key locations and several hundred cycle stands appear throughout the city.

This work continues, as does our campaign for better road and cycle path surfaces, more cycle friendly traffic calming schemes and greater cycle awareness amongst the city's highway planners.

Pedals works closely with other local transport and environmental groups to promote all forms of environmentally friendly transportation. We have regular contact with the Nottinghamshire Constabulary and the Crime Prevention Officer to ensure cycle theft and security is given a higher priority..

Pedals is an active member of the UK's Cycle Campaign Network and, through them, the European Cyclist's Federation.
