MK Cycling Summit - Increasing cycling, closing the gender pedal gap

MK Council, business, education and community leaders share vision, best practice and actions to increase cycling in Milton Keynes. Opportunity for MK Council, business, education and community leaders to share vision and best practice in helping their people get healthier and happier through cycling, especially by encouraging women to cycle. Delegates will hear from local and national experts who have increased cycling rates in their communities. (See short video of last year's Symposium at Unity Place.) The Summit aims to: • Bring alliance members together to report issues they face increasing cycling • Hear from local and national experts about best practice to address these issues • Prepare asks of Council, police, business and other city leaders to address these issues • Win pledges of action from powerholders to address these issues. The Summit will be moderated by Baroness Ann Limb, educationalist, philanthropist, business leader and charity entrepreneur. Delegates will hear from speakers from The Open University, the University of West England, Cycling UK, Thames Valley Police, Milton Keynes Council and local businesses, as well as members of the Cycling Citizens MK Alliance and The Open University, who are hosting the Summit. See draft agenda. We will also be holding a Dr Bike service run by Cycle Saviours during the event, offering free minor bike repairs and advice. This event is supported with funding from MK Community Foundation. Lunch and refreshments will be provided for all delegates. A special Cycling Business Lunch will also be provided for business owners and managers who want to know more about ways to increase cycling among staff for personal health and business benefits.
