What is Vision Zero South West?
Vision Zero South West is a partnership involving many organisations in Devon and Cornwall who share one goal – to eliminate death and serious injury from our roads.
Led by a diverse board of experts — including senior police and fire officers, leading clinicians, councillors, and the Police and Crime Commissioner — the board meets quarterly to discuss strategies and projects aimed at reducing serious collisions.

Mid Devon Cycling Club (MDCC) and British Cycling (BC) want to link with as many partners in the Torbay, Teignbridge and wider Devon area to encourage people to 'give cycling a go’ or return to cycling after a break or a life change which has kept them off cycling.
Taking place on 18th April, the event sits within British Cycling’s Limitless programme – a national initiative committed to increasing participation for disabled people. As part of a network of disability-inclusive clubs, Mid Devon CC are proud to play their part in creating supportive, accessible environments where everyone can experience the joy of cycling.
We will provide a range of standard or adapted cycles which people of all abilities can try out including a tandem for those who need a 'guide rider.’
The opportunity to ride in a completely traffic free environment at the velopark means that many of the worries about cycling can immediately be removed.
The day will start at 1100h and finish at 1500h and people are welcome to join for some, or all of the event. For planning and logistics we are asking people to sign up using the form from the QR code on the attached poster.
Safety equipment including, helmets, and knee and elbow pads can be available if needed.
We are also working on providing free parking for those attending and there will be a coffee and refreshments van available throughout.
Should you have any questions do not hesitate to contact us.
This event is just the beginning, Mid Devon CC, British Cycling and partners across Torbay have a number of exciting initiatives planned to improve disability-inclusive cycling.
