Cycle campaigning

Back on the "cycle campaigning" tack..
A quick toot of my own trumpet; I'm giving the next Street Talk by the Movement for Liveable London and I'd really like to have as many London cycle campaigners there, as it is cycle campaigning which I will be talking about!

Here's what the Movement for Liveable London website has to say:
"Mark Ames has been writing about cycling for four years and in that time has seen everything from tens of thousands of cyclists on the streets in demonstrations to an old aged pensioner riding the notorious Elephant and Castle roundabout. He’ll chart the highs and lows of cycle advocacy in London and propose new ideas as to what really needs to be done to achieve a real cycling revolution in London, and more importantly who needs to ask for it. Finally, Mark will put forward the idea that keeping cyclists safe and designing the built environment go hand in hand, and, when done well are a true indicator of an equal city."

It's on next Tuesday November 6th in the upstairs bar at the Yorkshire Grey pub (food and drink from 6PM, talk at 7PM followed by Q&A)

I'm going to be talking about campaigning in the Web 2.0 world, participatory planning, creating engaging campaigns and also my ideas for shifting the political will road block when it comes to more funding for cycling. Hopefully it will help to spark a bigger conversation about "where do we go from here" and forge some new alliances.

Also, for those who are interested, the Movement for Liveable London are holding a public health masterclass at the end of November which I think a lot of campaigners might be interested in:

Advert over. Hope to see some of you there!
