About Aberdeen Cycle Forum (ACF)

In 2003 a group of cyclists and environmentally aware people decided that a Forum should be set up to represent cyclists in Aberdeen. The group’s aim is to encourage cycling of all types: cycling for pleasure, cycling to work and to school, to the shops, off-road or on-road, specifically:

• To promote cycling as part of a sustainable transport strategy for Aberdeen and to encourage the city council and other relevant agencies do the same.

• To campaign for a safer cycling environment and improved cycle facilities in Aberdeen
• To promote the benefits of cycling as an enjoyable, healthy, cheap, efficient and non-polluting way of getting around the city.

At the time the Forum was set up, Aberdeen City Council was looking for partners to drive forward the increasing importance of cycling in helping to resolve traffic problems. ACF is a "statutory consultee" and is consulted when the City Council is proposing changes to the local road network that may impact on cyclists.

Anyone who shares these aims is welome to join, get in contact.
