Bike Week always provides a chance to remind people about how cycling can benefit your health and the environment, as well as save you money \u2013 so hopefully more people will take this opportunity to either take up cycling or rediscover their bikes. Motorists, cyclists, pedestrians and horseriders can all do their bit to look out for each other and make sure we all travel as safely as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\t<\/blockquote>\r\n        <div class=\"councillor-quote-aside medium-auto small-12 cell\">\r\n\t<figure class=\"councillor-quote-image grid-x\">\r\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"small-6 cell medium-12\" src=\"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/news\/wp-content\/themes\/dcc-parent-v4\/images\/avatar-placeholder.png\" alt=\"placeholder image\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\r\n        <figcaption class=\"councillor-quote-description small-6 cell medium-12\" >\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/democracy.devon.gov.uk\/mgUserInfo.aspx?UID=156\" rel=\"noopener\">Councillor Stuart Hughes, Cabinet Member for Highway Management<\/a><\/figcaption>\r\n            <\/figure>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    \r\n    <\/div>\n\n\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.traveldevon.info\/cycle\/safe-cycling\/share-this-space\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Share this Space webpage<\/a> has free films, animations and images that are free to use and share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those who want to show their support for the campaign can order our \u2018Give Cyclists Space\u2019 car window stickers which are available for free.
