We would like to thank everyone who helped us in 2013 and to wish all of our members a Happy New Year for 2014.

The New Year is traditionally a time for reflecting on our past achievements and for making new resolutions to ensure that we do even better over the coming 12 months.

We have worked hard over the last year, and have achieved some pretty good things. Highlights include:

• securing improvements to local cycle facilities,
• organising three successful cycle counts,
• running several Dr Bike sessions,
• supporting local greening campaigns and other events,
• providing loan bikes to kids from low income families,
• helping children and adults to improve their cycling skills

Of course it’s not all been hard work – we’ve also enjoyed our social events, such as the monthly gatherings at local pubs and the occasional bike rides.

There’s plenty more that we want to achieve in 2014 and to help focus our efforts, we are asking our members if they would complete a short online survey about:

• your cycling habits,
• how you feel about cycling in West Berks
• what you think about Spokes
• whether you would be interested in social bike rides.

As always there are plenty of opportunities for you to get involved with any of our activities. No experience is necessary. So why not make a New Year’s Resolution that you will actually enjoy keeping and help us to make cycling safe, easy and fun. We look forward to seeing you!
