READING CYCLE CAMPAIGN - Key Persons
Job Titles:
- Member of Committee
- Wokingham Campaign Officer
I've lived in the Wokingham area since 2010 and as a sometime cycle commuter had heard about the Reading Cycle Campaign, but apart from attending a group bike ride had never really got involved…unfortunately convincing myself I was too busy and that whilst I was in favour of better cycling facilities, I could just about manage with things as they were and hopefully someone else would sort things out for me!
It wasn't until I had children and started cycling them up the gridlocked Reading Road in Winnersh to get to their nursery (as driving took too long!) that I realised how vulnerable it felt to be cycling on this road as it was. It was this combined with my realisation that just having good intentions about the environment but hoping other people would sort things out was not enough and that led me back to the RCC as a way to get involved with changing things for the future.

Job Titles:

Job Titles:
- Events Officer and Cycling UK Rep
- Member of Committee
Job Titles:
- Secretary
- Member of Committee
I moved to Reading in 1993 and joined the Cycle Campaign shortly afterwards after someone left a leaflet about RCC on my bike. I am currently serving as the campaign's secretary but have been RBC Campaigning Officer for several years before that.
I'm a commuter cyclist, rather than leisure rider, and one of my most memorable rides was when we had really bad snow and ice in January 2010 - I could cycle right down the centre of London Road in the rush hour without a car in sight.
Job Titles:
- Member of Committee
- West Berks Campaign Officer
I am a retired teacher living in Pangbourne and I am now a mostly leisure rider having been in the past a keen off-road cyclist.
I have been working on improving the facilities for cyclists in Reading and in particular that part of greater Reading that is within West Berkshire.
Job Titles:
- Member of Committee
- Web Manager
I am a keen cyclist and e-biker. Tinkerer with all things mechanical, electronic, and computer related.
Job Titles:
- Member of Committee
- Publicity Officer
I am primarily a leisure cyclist enjoying the lovely local lanes around Reading and challenging myself with multi day cycling touring trips.
I'd love to be able to use my bike for more local ‘utility' journeys, however the lack of secure bike parking in Reading and at local out of town shopping areas is a major hindrance. I love my bike and want to keep it!
