Bike enthusiasts have just two weeks left to bid for funding from Transport for London

TfL cycling fund deadline looms

Local cycling enthusiasts have until Friday April 3rd 2009 to make their bid for grants of up to £5,000 to promote cycling activities in their local communities.

The London Cycle Campaign and Transport for London have appealed for cycling enthusiasts to submit applications for cash to be used in events and projects that encourage people to take up cycling. The finances will come from the Community Cycling Fund for London.

“We believe cycling offers fantastic potential for change and want to help you turn your ideas into actions – the Community Cycling Fund for London is there to help you achieve this,” said TfL’s head of Cycling, Walking and Accessibility Peter McBride.

LCC Community Cycling officer Rosie Tharp said: “We can help groups and organisations plan cycling projects and events that will enable everyday Londoners to experience the joys of riding a bike.

“If you have an idea, we can help you turn that idea into a successful funding bid so please get in touch to see how we can help.”
