Cycle campaigning news from the federation of UK groups: a dated log

The entries come from the federation's own news page and its newsletters. Each one is dated, says what happened and who was involved, and stops there. The log does not add commentary on what each event achieved, and it does not cover the local news of individual groups, which they published themselves. Most items fall into three kinds: campaign launches, the federation's own meetings, and the conferences. Where an item has its own page on this site, the entry links to it.

The federation's news page was updated regularly until 2017. After that, the conference of November 2018 is the last dated item here.

On 14 April 2014 the national Space for Cycling website went live. Jon Snow, then president of CTC, made a promotional video for the campaign, and CTC and the federation each ran a Space for Cycling page of their own. The campaign and its six themes are covered on the Space for Cycling page.

Later in 2014 the federation published "Making Space for Cycling", a guide to high-quality cycling facilities for new developments and street renewals, produced with the help of Cambridge Cycling Campaign. It was put online as a website and a document, and printed copies went to groups and were sent to decision makers in councils and to developers as reference copies.

On 22 November 2014 the federation held an extraordinary general meeting and its annual conference at Lambeth Town Hall in London, hosted by London Cycling Campaign. The formal notice of the motions had gone out with member status and contact information as at 31 October 2014. After some discussion and amendments, all the motions were passed. A short report with the presentations followed; the speakers are listed on the conferences page.

In 2015 the core city campaign groups, representing the cities that had received Cycle City Ambition money, wrote to Robert Goodwill, then Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Transport with responsibility for cycling, about the issues those cities had faced.

The federation's newsletter came out in May and October 2015. On Saturday 24 October 2015 the joint Cyclenation and CTC conference was held at Blackburne House in Liverpool, hosted by Merseyside Cycling Campaign, with places at £25 and £15.

The 2016 AGM was held on Saturday 12 March at the Birmingham and Midland Institute, with the formal meeting in the early afternoon and a workshop or presentation and other activities around it for those who could arrive early or stay late.

On 5 April 2016 CTC was renamed Cycling UK.

On Saturday 19 November 2016 the joint Cyclenation and Cycling UK conference was hosted by St Albans Cycle Campaign, with tickets at £15 and £10. Over 100 people attended, and the federation described it as its busiest conference for many years.

The 2017 AGM was held on Saturday 18 March at BikeExpo in Greater Manchester. The 2017 conference followed in Oxford on Saturday 11 November, with workshops the day before, and the 2018 conference was in Birmingham on 24 November.

Today the news is local. The groups publish their own news about consultations, schemes, rides and meetings on their own sites, and the directory of local cycle campaign groups lists them by region with a link to each. National campaigning has moved on as well: Cycling UK runs the Cycle Advocacy Network for people and groups who speak up for cycling locally. Its pages offer a map of cycle campaign groups and Cycling UK local representatives, a campaigning handbook and a toolkit of how-to guides, and say it is particularly keen to support smaller groups and new starters.

For the years before 2014, the newsletters page covers CCN News and Cyclenation News from 1999 to 2016, and the history of the federation covers the organisation behind them.
