Upper Don Trail

Fri 27 November 2020 By Tanya Spilsbury

The Upper Don Trail will provide a safe, off-road, walk and cycleway that connects hotspots within Sheffield.

There are many similarities between the Upper Don Trail and our Cycleway!

The Derwent Valley Trust’s cycleway will be over 4 times the length of the Upper Don Trail, but is ultimately working towards a common goal – to provide a safe, off-road, cycle route that will connect hotspots throughout Derbyshire.

This video is extremely informative and well worth a watch, to see just how much of an exciting prospect it is for Sheffield – as much as our Cycleway is an exciting prospect for Derby/Derbyshire!

Our fundraiser for Wyver Lane (part of the Cycleway) can be found at:

– please donate if you can!

Wyver Lane

Mon 16 November 2020 By Tanya Spilsbury

Belper Walks have perfectly captured Wyver Lane and the current difference in surfacing; we’re aiming for it all to be resurfaced, to provide a safe off-road cycle path, for the public.

You can donate to our campaign Fiver for Wyver, which is raising the funds needed to resurface the Lane:

Thank you to Belper Walks, for the video, which highlights how nice Wyver Lane is to visit – please watch and visit Belper Walks; to explore more of the beautiful walks around Belper with no risk of getting lost and without having to read a map: https://belperwalks.co.uk

Love To Ride

Mon 29 June 2020 By Tanya Spilsbury

Over the past month, Love to Ride Derby in a collaboration with local filmmaker Hardy D. Saleh have produced this brilliant short video, that brings together your stories of cycling in Derby at this extraordinary time.

From fewer cars to freedom, you told us what cycling during lockdown has been like for you and what your new normal looks like on two (or more!) wheels.

We’re delighted to release this exciting short video that captures your experiences and will hopefully encourage others to cycle too.

Be sure to like, share and spread the word. Thank you Hardy D. Saleh Life Cycle Derby Cycle Derby Sustrans East Midlands
