We’re delighted to be supporting the second annual Hackney Cycling Conference which is being held on Thursday 6th June at Hackney Town Hall.

The conference will explore the potential to turn recent high level political support for cycling, ambitious policy statements and successful campaigns into real change on the ground and create conditions that encourage a significant increase in the number of people riding bikes.

Speakers include:

• Jules Pipe, Mayor of Hackney
• Andrew Gilligan, London Cycling Commissioner
• Prof. Phil Goodwin, University of the West of England and author of the APPCG report ‘Get Britain Cycling’
• Dr Adrian Davis, Bristol City Council on the Bristol model for collaboration on public health and transport
• Prof. Harry Rutter, Public Health England and Halsa Consulting on cycling risks and benefits
• Chris Procter, Design and Engineering Manager at Hackney Council on the principles of permeability
• Sophie Tyler, The Means on cycling and retail
• Oliver Schick, London Cycling Campaign in Hackney on building local support for road space reallocation
• The Canal and River Trust on managing shared space on Greenways
