Chris Foggin on Revolutionizing Road Safety and Fostering a Thriving Cycling Community in Central Otago

May 21, 2024 The Central App Season 2 Episode 17

Ever wondered what it takes to make our roads safer for both cyclists and drivers? That's exactly what we're unwrapping with Central Otago's own Chris Foggin. As the District's Road Safety Advisor, Chris brings a wealth of knowledge to the table, discussing everything from the ground-breaking Wheels Up initiative to the role education plays in creating a well-oiled cycling culture. We'll explore how this education-driven approach is making headway in the community and how future projects, like school and community bike ambassadors, could revolutionize our streets.
Winter doesn't have to spell the end of your cycling adventures, Chris share a treasure trove of tips to keep you pedaling through the frost, from mental fortitude to the alchemy of layering. We also shine a spotlight on the heart-warming efforts of UpCycles, a charity that's not just about getting more bikes on the road but also nurturing a sense of community and mindfulness about our environmental footprint.
