History of the Avon Cycleway
The Cycleway was established in 1989 by Avon County Council’s Cycle Project Team and involved over 400 marker signs. A few of the original signs survive to this day. The original research for the route was done by the late Chris Hutt, who campaigned for better cycling conditions in Bristol for many years and who served as Cyclebag’s secretary. This website is dedicated to Roger Chapman who was a senior transport officer at Avon County Council. He gave strong support to cycling in Bristol including the Avon Cycleway and rode the complete route.
