More restrictions by @eastsussexcc.bsky.social following "Eastbourne town centre pedestrianisation – Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO) Timings Survey." Now decided to ban 🚲 but allow 🚛🛻 between 6PM to 10AM. Note the mention in future of very substandard routes as alternatives

Negative feelings, from some residents, towards legal cyclists but based on illegal 'cycles' and e-scooters. *The only local legal e-scooters on the highway are in Brighton rental scheme *Across other councils clampdowns on souped up e-bikes, using throttles & without pedals

We always need to be clear how much more dangerous illegal 'e-bikes' 🏍️ are than legal ones🚴‍♂️

Lottbridge Drove one of the busiest shared paths in #Eastbourne. If you want it cut back to its original size then contact live.eastsussexhighways.com/report-probl...

One of Bespoke's high priority 'off road' links is from Sainsbury (Hampden Pk) to Tutts Barn. AI image taken from under the Cross Levels Way flyover. Partly built 20 years ago but currently overgrown

Let's get Edwards Rd ( Bannatyne's ) 'cut back' to the original size. It has been reported to @eastsussexcc.bsky.social many times

Bespoke Cycle Group @bespokeeb.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

Up and coming cycle route by @eastsussexcc.bsky.social along Ashford Road. 2/3rds on busy road with many junctions. Rest on a shared path. Who will use it ?

15th May the French (80+ vehicles ) are cycling from Newhaven to Battle , some on their solar powered cycles

Hard to imagine why some find this sign unclear or ambiguous

The Normans are coming... on May 15th... but this time on solar powered cycles

The #Sheffield cycle hoops on Terminus Road, put in by @eastsussexcc.bsky.social and Eastbourne BC, are nearly all gone (?damaged) . People are going back to using the railings that are solid and last >20 years.

Cycle parking using railings as newer hoops are damaged and removed

For those locals, who have not seen LTN 1/20 compliant cycling infrastructure, here is your chance at Hindsland, between Willingdon and Polegate on A2270. A 3.5m wide shared path🚶🚴🧑‍🦼built by the developers

The rain didn’t dampen our spirits in #Eastbourne at tonight’s Glow Ride. Along with other groups across the country we lit up the night to call for safer streets, better cycling infrastructure, and a future where women and everyone can ride with freedom and confidence. #RightToGlow #MyRideOurRight

Bespoke Cycle Group @bespokeeb.bsky.social · 22/10/2025

Thank you to everyone, including Rebecca from @cyclinguk.bsky.social, who braved the rain, and took the time to ride with us tonight on the Eastbourne Glow Ride. We lit up the night with our #RightToGlow, calling for safer cycling for everyone. Because when women can ride freely, we all can.

Of all the Sheffield stands installed by @eastsussexcc.bsky.social on Terminus Road #Eastbourne ( Along the bus lane) only 5 now remain. You can still see where the old fixings were. Now people chain to other surfaces where they can

Request to increase the @eastsussexcc.bsky.social ATE ( Active Travel Score) to 2. However in terms of delivery they think they are only a 1. For cycling ( not walking) most cyclists would score them as 0. (Nobody in UK currently that low) democracy.eastsussex.gov.uk/documents/s7...

Good piece of shared path on A271, near Boship roundabout, by @eastsussexcc.bsky.social and @wealdendc.bsky.social BUT it is only a 50m long feeder to a new estate they are building. Nothing before or after and heavy traffic along the whole road

Now its Autumn some of the tracks on South Downs @southdownsnp.bsky.social are not as good. But all year round you can still 🚴🚵‍♀️ in Friston Forest and Abbots Wood ( not quite in National Park) .

The @eastsussexcc.bsky.social approach to stop '🐀 running' in Willingdon alongside the developments at Hindsland ( who paid the S106) & Mornings Mill . '20's plenty' would have been good but instead a patchwork of build outs that force 🚴 to negotiate space as they move over each time

Broad Road one of the build outs in Willingdon

One rumour is, if you support cycling, put up a 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. Lots of them around Polegate this weekend 🚲🚴

Bespoke Cycle Group @bespokeeb.bsky.social · 17/08/2025

There is extra cycle parking at Airbourne but it is not being used. Possibly because (as permanently at the Harbour) it does not have footfall passing by. However only 250m away the existing parking is packed🔐🔓🚲 ( Saturday lunchtime)

Bespoke Cycle Group @bespokeeb.bsky.social · 05/08/2025

Email from @eastsussexcc.bsky.social after Bespoke questioned choice of surface on Terminus Rd (for next phase), where they had done an accessibility audit to ensure suitable in Phase 1. Can anyone see the sign on the road ?🔭 and why 🚗🚗 keep stopping on it ( 3 points & £100 )

Advanced Stop Line outside Station where vehicles are not allowed to stop on it. Hard to see

Bespoke Cycle Group @bespokeeb.bsky.social · 03/08/2025

This length of Edward Rd (overgrown for years !!) is very reminiscent of the many years Bespoke spent trying to convince @eastsussexcc.bsky.social that they should restore their shared path to 3m on Lottbridge Drove( LTN 1/20). Here as in the past have to cut it back to show them.

Bespoke Cycle Group @bespokeeb.bsky.social · 28/07/2025

Cycling parking installed at Sovereign Harbour is tucked away where little footfall and poor light- esp in winter. (similar elsewhere on this site) So cyclists uses the railings and get told off

Bespoke Cycle Group @bespokeeb.bsky.social · 21/07/2025

Join us Sat 26th July from 14:00 as we litter pick and clear the section of NNCN 21 on Edward Road near Shinewater Park (casino.speech.riches). This route is badly affected by litter and overhanging brambles. Equipment will be available but bring your own if you have

Bespoke Cycle Group @bespokeeb.bsky.social · 15/07/2025

If @eastsussexcc.bsky.social are not going to provide any useful cycle routes in #Eastbourne centre then what about more of these (temporarily up on King Edwards Parade, for an event, but they are permanent in Hastings)

Reports of this new tactic from @eastsussexcc.bsky.social of writing back to residents "please let me know if you would like your objection to be revoked" with their consultations ( eg cycling in Terminus Road & Seaside bus lanes).

Heathfield Tunnel was on #sustrans NCN21 ( Cuckoo Trail). Open just for today ( 1st time in 10 years). It always was dark and wet but a great feature of the route

Please complete the @eastsussexcc.bsky.social Seaside Bus lane consultation . It is easy - just one comment box !!. Stress your support that cycling is now being included in the bus lane. ( Always was for St Anthony's section ) consultation.eastsussex.gov.uk/economy-tran...

4 examples of what they have in Hastings but we do not seem to in Eastbourne. Based on a trip today. See Alt text for info

On NCN2 ( along the beach) from St Leonards to Bexhill telling car drivers to share

Railway Bridge at Bulverhythe with a cycle rail. So many similar bridges in Eastbourne require a cycle to be carried. What if you have an e-bike of are not that strong ?

An advisory cycle lane (ACL) that goes all the way to the junction and has an Advanced stop Line (ASL) at the end

Filsham Way. Telling drivers to leave space . Why not in Eastbourne where often 90cm wide cycle lanes. Where cyclists are squeezed by drivers

243

Bespoke Cycle Group @bespokeeb.bsky.social · 24/05/2025

One of the consequences of the traffic lights at Exceat ,Is going uphill to Seaford, there are now gaps and traffic is bunched🚗🏎️🚌🚛. It is now safer -- but when @eastsussexcc.bsky.social build a new bridge it will go back to being the most dangerous section to Brighton

011

Bespoke Cycle Group @bespokeeb.bsky.social · 17/05/2025

Close passes are much less of a problem on the continent where drivers give plenty of space and slow down. It is car dominant countries (like UK, US and Aus ) where drivers think 1m is enough space. IT IS NOT❗

French sign on roads to encourage ( possibly UK drivers) to slow down and give space
