Twenty years ago on Tuesday 30th September 2003, Aberdeen Cycle Forum had its inaugural meeting. You can read the minutes of that meeting, which outline the attendees, what they discussed, and why the forum was created. Aberdeen Cycle Forum has held monthly meetings in the 20 years since with all the minutes publicly available on our website.
We’re still run entirely on volunteer steam. Over the years we’ve responded to countless consultations, organised protests, run competitions and campaigns, provided cycling lessons to locals, commissioned street art for the cycle network, provided feedback to the council on cycling-related issues and even organised a litter pick.
To celebrate our 20 years we’re having a special event on the 3rd October 2023 at 7pm in the Arts Centre on King Street. To mark the special occasion we’ve got three guest speakers: one from Cycling without Age Scotland, one from Aberdeenshire Bike Bothy, and Aberdeen’s very own para-athlete, Joanna Robertson. There’ll also be a Q&A with Aberdeen City Council co-leader Ian Yuill and Councillor Miranda Radley. A café and bar will be available so come and celebrate 20 years with us!
