In January, Transport Minister Norman Baker unveiled plans for £62m investment for cycling in England. Up to three cities (includes Brighton) will be invited to bid for a fund of up to £30m Cycle City Ambion Grants for infrastructure improvements to make cycling easier and safer in urban areas. There is also a fund of up to £12m available to local authories working in partnership with National Parks to improve conditons for cyclists. The Government will announce the successful projects in the summer. 

Bike Train will be running group rides to eight different events during the Autumn season. This includes all Saturday Albion matches at the Amex Stadium in Falmer, as well as Apple Day at Stanmer Park and Bonfire Night in Lewes. The rides aim to be fun, family friendly and go at a gentle pace with music and experienced ride marshals. Each event ride will be on-line as a Facebook event where you can sign up and find out more.

Capital to Coast are looking for Marshals at the Capital to Coast Cycle Challenge for Charity which is being held on Sunday, 1st July, 2012.
