In 1976, a pressure group was set up to campaign for better cycling provision within Islington, and 50 years later, they’ve got their own exhibition. The exhibition notes that the campaign group took a decade to secure a cycle lane along Seven Sisters Road, but it’s still short of TfL’s target of Manor House. Back at the exhibition, an early edition of the Daily Cyclist bemoans the lack of innovation in preventing cycle punctures, while a 1980 report on cycling within Islington was delivered to the council for action. The exhibition also tells the darker side of cycling – the deaths, with a ghost bike in the exhibition alongside a report on their mass cycle campaigns. The exhibition, 50 years of Cycle Islington, is at Islington Museum until “mid-autumn” – although I’ve been told that means 9th October.
