Granta Park employees wanting to cycle to work or use a cycle route for the first time, can now sign up to the new journey-sharing website CamShare.co.uk to find a Bike BUDi. A Bike BUDi is someone who is willing to share a cycle journey with a new cyclist showing them the way and giving them the confidence to try cycling perhaps for the first time in years. If you are uncertain of a route to work, college, or a one off event, a Bike BUDi is just what you need.
And there are fabulous prizes to be won by registering on CamShare as a Bike BUDi before 1 November; all prizes donated by Cambridge cycle shops.
Residents can now find routes to cycle quicker, easier and more sociably thanks to the new journey-sharing website.
The scheme is funded by Cambridgeshire County Council and the Cambridgeshire Travel for Work Partnership.
Members of the public can sign up for free on www.camshare.co.uk. The process is simple and anyone can search for others who are cycling the same route. They are then able to make contact through a secure on-line message centre.
Cambridgeshire County Councillor Sir Peter Brown, Cabinet Member for the Economy, Environment and Climate Change, said: “I am delighted that CamShare is offering Cambridgeshire residents more choice about how they travel around the County. Tackling climate change is a top priority for the Council and it is increasingly important to encourage travel by more sustainable means including cycling, thus reducing the amount of CO2 emitted.”
Lindsey Rushmore, Travel for Work Partnership Travel Plan Adviser said: “Bike BUDi’s are a great idea! They help cyclists find the shortest and safest routes to travel. In bringing experienced cyclists and those unfamiliar with routes together, CamShare is able to offer even more travel choice than before.”
