Have you started cycling again since the COVID-19 lock down? Are you using a bike to get your exercise each day or getting to work as a key worker? If so, Bicycle Mayor for Coventry, Adam Tranter, would like to hear from you!

Why Coventry Needs a Bicycle Mayor

Cycling needs to be a key priority in tackling the Climate Emergency declared by Coventry City Council. 98% of monitored roads in Coventry have PM2.5 emissions above the World Health Organisation's guidelines.

“There are few people who understand the importance of getting more people active than Adam. There are even fewer who have the practical experience and knowhow to bottle all that is great about cycling and take it to new cyclists. I look forward to seeing what Adam can achieve, getting more children cycling and continuing to raise awareness of the many benefits.”

“Adam is a ‘Covkid’ as we would say here. So he’s grown up here, still has family here and is uniquely placed to understand the frustrations of cycling infrastructure in Coventry and best represent a whole range of issues from cycling use, environmental and health benefits and modernising city transport strategies.”
