Cycle Hayling is a community coalition that campaigns to get more people cycling by:

• improving cycling infrastucture on Hayling for schools and commuters
• encouraging cycle training opportunities
• improving the Hayling Billy Leisure Trail

Our approach is to actively engage local schools, businesses, organisations, residents and visitors in
shaping and lobbying for improved cycling infrastructure on Hayling Island.

We warmly welcome your support, so if you would like to find out more about Cycle Hayling, please

"Dear Friend

Cycle Hayling is a new community movement to improve and promote cycling opportunities on Hayling Island.

We want to build a community coalition to campaign for better cycling infrastructure and for improvements to the Hayling Billy Leisure Trail.

After our first successful gathering at the opening of the new stretch of cycle path on the 26th Feb, (where we met with David Willetts and representatives from Sustrans and Havant Borough Council), we would now like to have an informal meeting to look at where the group can go from here.

We would like it if you would come along, please follow the link below to let us know which day and time would best suit you:

We look forward to meeting you,

Lesley Berry (a fair-weather cyclist & co-founder of Cycle Hayling along with Sue Underwood - also a Hayling resident but with hardier cycling credentials!)"

It would be good if Paris to Hayling cylists came to this meeting. Please visit the website link above to register your interest

Cycle Hayling now has its own page on our website - see tab to the left

We have a new group of cyclists forming on Hayling Island, following the recent Hayling Island Residents’ Association’s (HIRA) public meeting, which highlighted the opportunities (and lost opportunities!) available to cyclists in and around the Island.

The meeting included presentations by Nick Farthing, Sustrans Regional Manager for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight and Paul Fisher, Chairman of HIRA, who highlighted the need for a safe leisure bridge crossing over Langstone Harbour and the upgrade of the Island section of the Billy Trail.

The group is led by Islander Sue Underwood and she is initially spearheading the campaign to get as many cyclists as possible to attend the opening of the new Langstone bit of the Billy trail, from Mill Lane to opposite the Ship, on Friday 26th February, attended by David Willetts, MP for Havant and Simon Pratt, Regional Director for Sustrans. The idea is to let those present know the importance of and how strongly we feel about the way the southern next part of the National Cycling Route should be developed.

It would be very helpful if as many Paris to Hayling riders attended as possible.

The photo on the front will be the one illustrated and we trust you will find it adequately ‘Chistmassy’. The card is a smallish one - 5½” x 3¼”

There is a serious side to this, too, as all profits from the sale of this card will go to MacMillan Cancer Support, in memory of Meryl Browne, popular and much missed Paris to Hayling rider and Deputy Chairman, who sadly passed away in October 2009.
