Hastings Urban Bikes (HUB) is a community of people who feel passionately that active travel networks in Hastings should be better.
We exist to improve access and connectivity so that safe, enjoyable and affordable cycling, walking and bus networks are available to everyone. The streets in our community should be beautiful, sociable and human again.
HUB was formed in 2006 to encourage urban cycling in Hastings
HUB began life in 2006 with a mission to bring a safe cycling network to Hastings. In its early years HUB campaigned for and saw the opening of the NC2 Rock-a-Nore to Bexhill cycle route and has since contributed to what is now ESCC’s LCWIP.
In the last six months HUB has been reformed to help take forward 21st century interventions such as roadspace reallocation to buses, a safe cycling network and road crossings for a walking network. We hold existing councillors accountable and champion the need for political leadership and capable, forward looking, transport officers.
HUB organises a number of other projects and rides, including Kidical Mass Hastings as well as social rides. And finally, HUB is involved in the gathering and shaping of public opinion in the town with respect to active travel.
We’re about more than cycling
HUB has close ties to other community groups promoting active travel and actively supports better urban resources for pedestrians, public transport users and other vulnerable road users. Roads are for all people rather than simply designed around car use.
