THANKS to Roger Clements of Langford Road, Newton St Cyres for bringing the subject of a cycle route from Crediton to Exeter to the Courier Letters page.

He is right to point out that the A377 is "not the ideal road", for cyclists. Nor is it ideal for motorists stuck behind cyclists.

The Boniface Trail Group on Facebook is another attempt to step up the effort to achieve a safe and cycle friendly route to Exeter.

Two meetings in Crediton are coming up and a group ride along a safe cycle route, where there is one, in Exeter.

October 2 - 7.30pm - a visioning meeting led by Kath Porter, will be held at our house 26 Old Tiverton Road, Crediton EX17 1EG to discuss and decide the principle aim and objective of the campaign. Everyone welcome.

October 19 - 10am - Brompton Ride to the Seaside – A 10-mile ride from Exeter to Exmouth on the Exe Estuary Trail, with options to return by train.

Free cycle hire for the day. You will need to register beforehand for a year's membership for just £1.

Meet 10am outside Exeter St David's Station Tea stop at Topsham's Route 2 cafe. Lunch at Exmouth, return to Exeter by train (or cycle back) by about 4pm.

For promotional code, go to Sustainable Crediton Brompton Ride.

October 22 - 7.30pm - Crediton Inn - Meeting with Paul Hawkins, Area Manager Sustrans, to talk about options and possibilities of a cycling route between Crediton and Exeter.

Please join us and/or make your comments.

Other parts of Devon are active for their cycle routes and DCC money is limited.
