SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT ZONE

This zone is all about sustainable travel solutions for an urban environment. There is an emphasis on getting people to try out bikes, and to help them build a better relationship with bikes they already own.

The focal point, and a popular feature of the Urban Green Fair is the bike test track with a full range of commuting bikes and novelty bikes for demonstration, try out and riding. Examples from last year included tandems, trailers and a penny farthing.

Additionally, we will have the Dr. Bike repair surgery, the Brixton Cycles and Brixton Bicycle Art bike repair and bling your bike workshops. These are an enjoyable opportunity to pick up useful skills for free.

We will also offer lessons for children, as well as BMX races and a slow bike competition with prizes.

The Transition Town Brixton Transport Group are co-ordinating this year's transport zone, and we are seeking to engage community groups like local business groups, school PTAs, Faith based groups and interested individuals to work with us and Lambeth Council, to develop better infrastructure and initiaves to encourage the take up of cycling, walking, car clubs and public transport to serve the local Brixton Communities.

Finally there will be a selection of practical and information stalls, such as cycling campaign groups, Transport for London, Plane Stupid and No Urban 4X4's.

The Sustainable Transport Zone is supported by Lambeth Council.
