Seafront & Promenade Cycling
The restriction to cycling on the promenade in 2008 will now only apply for two months, July and August and between the times of 10.00am and 6.00pm. This will apply to the entire promenade between Bournemouth and Poole except for those sections that are public highway.
The policies of both authorities now coincide. Monitoring of the use of the promenade by cyclists, particularly in relation to pedestrians, will continue to assess whether future changes/relaxation should take place.
Bourne Valley Greenway
Greenways are largely car-free, off-road routes which are sustainable transport corridors for shared use by cyclists, walkers and where practical horse riders.
The Bourne Valley Greenway was launched in May 2004 and runs continuously for 6.5km between Bournemouth Town Centre and Canford Heath. The Greenway goes through Bournemouth Gardens, Talbot Heath and Bourne Bottom. By Cycle the route takes around 30 minutes from Ringwood Road near the Mountbatten Arms Roundabout to Bournemouth Town Centre, making this a viable means of commuting.

An information leaflet detailing the route is available from the Bournemouth Tourist Information Centre, any Bournemouth Library, or by emailing Highways with your full postal address.
Bournemouth Cycling Forum
As part of the Bournemouth Partnership a Cycling Forum has been established to progress cycling issues in Bournemouth and also consider wider cycling issues.
The forum is independent of the Council, but Councillors and Officers with highways responsibilities attend the forum together with representatives from local cycle groups, the Police and anyone else interested - the group is open to all.
Next Forum Meeting
The next Cycling Forum meeting will be held at the Town Hall on Thursday 22nd May 2008, commencing at 6.00 pm.
To contact the group, make any comment regarding cycling in Bournemouth, please email the Cycle Forum.
