Recent updates

As will be obvious to regular visitors this website has been significantly altered. The changes are cosmetic (mainly the placing of the navigation buttons in a small block in the top lh corner), technical (introduction of CSS to bring the HTML code in line with best practice) and a new "infrastructure page". The last has allowed allowed a more logical arrangement of material between it, and the "campaigns" and "various" pages. As always I am pleased to receive feedback to which, even if I do not respond, I will at least consider. In addition note the following more specific recent changes.
Links page: A link to Wheelrights Facebook page added, also a link to Cyclenation.
Events page: The programme for the Adult Beginners Classes and evening rides for 2012 and CTC"s February programme added.
Cycling Festival page: Revised to apply to the 2012 Gower Cycling Festival.
Campaigns page: Information about a forthcoming Swansea Cycle Campaign added.
Newsletters and Notes page: Notes of our 23 January meeting added.

Highlights

New this year are the Swansea Cycling Challenge in June (if our funding applications are successful) and the evening rides starting in April.
Our new Wheelrights Facebook page link as well as promoting our activities widens the scope of this site by providing Facebook members with access to blogs, etc.
Full information about the 2012 Gower Cycling Festival, including a provisional programme, is now provided on the Cycling Festival page. Links to information about the 2010 and 2011 Festivals are retained.
This being the time of year you might be thinking of next year's summer holiday note the bit about Mercurio cycling holidays on the links page. Joining one of their tours is a way of supporting Wheelrights.

We campaign for improved facilities for cyclists in the Swansea Bay area. We help get people on bikes by, eg, providing beginners' classes; we also provide information about rides and other matters of interest to cyclists and their supporters. We are an umbrella organisation, separate from the CTC and Sustrans and other cycling groups, but whose activities we seek to both support and complement.

Gower Cycling Festival riders visit the Neolithic tomb at Park le Breos, Gower.
