Exchanging Places

Would you like to host an Exchanging Places event?

Exchanging Places is an initiative to encourage responsible cycling and to raise awareness of HGV/PCV blind spots to cyclists, drivers and pedestrians.  

Cyclists, pedestrians and drivers are given the opportunity to sit in an HGV and watch as another cyclist travels alongside the vehicle.  

We will provide demonstrations of the best places for a cyclist to position themselves when passing an HGV and are also on hand to answer any questions cyclists may have.

The initiative aims to;

• increase awareness amongst cyclists of the dangers/risks of HGV blind spots and
• encourage cyclists to adopt safer riding strategies, especially around junctions.
