🚲 We recently hosted a cycling pop-up event on St Peters Street to speak with members of the public about safe and responsible cycling in the city centre.
Delivered alongside partners including Derbyshire Constabulary and the St Peters Quarter and Cathedral Quarter BIDs, the event gave people the chance to:
✔️ Get free basic bike safety checks
✔️ Find out about local cycling routes and initiatives
✔️ Speak to officers and partners about cycling rules and safety
🎥 Hear from Cllr Sarah Chambers, Cabinet Member for Communities, Equalities and Public Safety, about the highlights!
