Welcome to our home page Stop Press The really good news this week is that Woking has succeeded in its bid to become a Cycling Demonstration Town. This will bring £1.8m over the next 3 years to develop cycling in the town. We have arranged to meet Surrey County Council officers on 23 July to talk about how we would like to see this money being spent. Contact us to have your say. – see here. The improvement work on the Basingstoke Canal towpath has begun – see here Our summer 2008 newsletter should now have been delivered to all our members, if you have not received one please let us know. Please feed back to me at iankwright@hotmail.com if you feel there is useful information that could be included on our website or if you spot errors on any of the pages. We are now doing our best to keep it up to date.

Interested in old bicycles? A more recent addition to the attractions at Brooklands Museum is the Raleigh Cycle Display, charting the history of the famous company from it’s humble beginnings in 1886 right up to the present day with a unique collection of bicycles, accessories and posters. There’s a long history of cycle racing at Brooklands and Raleigh was there winning races right from the start!
