Signing for Cycling – Surbiton Station

Surbiton Station

Kingston Cycling Campaign was at Surbiton Station’s bike stands this evening (18 April).

They were also gathering signatures for Sign for Cycling and handing out free saddle covers and “ass saver” mudguards.

Sign for Cycling

SignForCycling Flyering Events Cover Photo London elects its next Mayor on 5 May. London Cycling Campaign has launched its biggest campaign yet, Sign for Cycling.

London stands at a crossroads; population levels are rising, our streets and public transport are getting busier, and our air is dangerously polluted. The only way forward is to get more people out of motor vehicles and into cycling and walking. The only ways to do this are to create safe space for cycling, to encourage more journeys to be made by bike, and to tackle lorry danger.

You can tell the Mayoral candidates that you want a city that really is healthier, greener and easier to get about. Imagine a better London! Please sign the petition today at signforcycling.org
