Thanks to the pop-up cycle lanes on the Old Shoreham Road, Hove Cemetery is now accessible by cycle. Great for quiet reflection - and blackberries! #cycling #hove

Sanam: I love the freedom you get from cycling. You can see everything! I’m down from London for the day, and we need more cycle lanes everywhere. I use my bike for everything – getting to work, socialising and exercising.

Chrys: I love cycling as it makes me feel free. I use the @BTNBikeshare every day to get to work because I don’t have anywhere safe to store a bike. If you return an out-of-dock bike you can even get money back!

Daren: I feel free on my bike. It’s quick and easy to nip somewhere and is less stressful than driving – you don’t have to worry about parking. I use the bike for shopping and exercise and love the new cycle lanes on the Old Shoreham Road.

I wish there was more equality between bikes and cars, as many people in Brighton don’t have a car. I’d like to see better bike parking and an end to No Cycling signs. We need safe routes for bikes everywhere – not everyone lives within walking distance of the beach.’

Roland: Bikes are easier for getting around town than cars. Journey times are more reliable, plus it's easier to park.

We use bikes for the school run, for commuting and grocery shopping. The cargo bike means we use the car less, and you can fit a whole trolley-full of shopping in it.

I'd like to see more joined-up cycle lanes in Brighton and Hove, such as the new ones through Valley Gardens. We need more bike parking - particularly bike racks that can accommodate cargo bikes, which are particularly important for people with kids, plus proper enforcement of dangerous driving.

Wairimu: I started cycling during lockdown. You can get around quicker by bike, and cycling makes you feel free. I use my bike for commuting, exercise and leisure. We could do with more protected cycle lanes – that way I’d feel safer.

Lola: I love going downhill on my bike!

Louisa: We use our bikes to get places without the car – it’s fun and it’s a great activity for kids. Lola gets exercise and it’s a good way to see Brighton. I have panniers, which are ideal for shopping.

I’d like to see more cycle lanes and less cars around the city. We live in North Laine, which was perfect during lockdown because there was less traffic. We also have a car, so we understand it from a driver’s perspective too, but overall we need more pedestrianised, child-friendly safe spaces.

Maggie: Cycling is faster than walking – it’s

Maggie: Cycling is faster than walking – it’s transport, pleasure, exercise, and mountain biking is exhilarating. We’re retired now, and take our bikes around the world – we’ve even been to Kathmandu.
We have a car, a motorbike and a camper as well as several bicycles! We need protected junctions for bikes, and long distance signage that isn’t just planned around cars.

Chris: On a bike you get to see more than you do in a car, as you’re not restricted by traffic. It’s freedom! It would be good to see better education amongst all road users, and better separation between pedestrians and cyclists, plus more cycle-priority traffic lights like the ones on Lewes Road.

Edmund: Cycling is a great way to keep fit and healthy and to go places I wouldn’t normally walk. It’s a nice, healthy experience.

I use my bike to commute, and to go along the seafront and enjoy the views.

I avoid some roads around the city because they’re worn and dangerous. It would be good if everyone had greater awareness of what it’s like for people on bikes and if cyclists learnt more about road safety.

Tamsin, Jez, Luca

T: My bike gives me freedom and exercise. It’s quick, convenient and cheap– plus you don’t have to worry about parking. I use my bike to commute, go food shopping with my panniers and to visit friends in places like Shoreham or Whitehawk. We need to stop seeing cars and bikes as adversaries. I’ve been nudged by cars and that’s horrible. Many people think cyclists are a pain in the arse, but more people on bikes equals less traffic. The council could take more of a lead on promoting cycling.

J: Cycling is pleasurable – going downhill in free motion is just amazing. From a design perspective, the bicycle is an efficient, elegant solution. I commute by bike – 3 miles takes me just 12 minutes. We need more protected cycle lanes, traffic calming and enforcement of 20mph zones.

L: I use my bike for everything: seeing friends, shopping, commuting – and I love the new cycle lanes on the Old Shoreham Road as they make me feel safe. We need to change people’s mentality – the road is for bikes as well as cars. I wish some drivers were less aggressive.
