About Me

Sat, 30 Mar 2013 15:29:56 +0000

My name is Matt Turner, I live in Hillsborough in Sheffield.

My Twitter account is here.

I contribute to OpenStreetMap under the username Matt T and I mainly contribute cycling information which is used on OpenCycleMap and the CycleStreets journey planner.

I have a YouTube channel full of examples of bad experiences (driving) on my bike in Sheffield and further abroad. This was one of my first contributions to cycling activism and how I got involved.

Investment in cycling

On this page I’ll track the commitments to investing in cycling by Central Government. Hopefully I’ll be able to track these all the way from announcement to delivery.

Have I missed anything?

Cycling in Sheffield - A newcomer's guide

There are a few useful things to know about cycling in Sheffield. Routes, training bike shops.

Free Training

Everyone can get free 1 to 1 training from Pedal Ready, no catch! They’ll teach you how to ride on the road, give you route advice and anything else you might need. Just give them a call/email and they’ll set a date for your training. I’d really recommend these courses - this is one of the best ways to get introduced to cycling in Sheffield.
