She was a major part of the Pedals campaign group
In memory of a campaigner who helped make important changes for cyclists in Nottinghamshire, a commemorative cycle ride is due to take place. Emma Metcalfe died in October 2021 after losing her battle with breast cancer, but the keen cyclist and illustrator is being honoured on Sunday, April 2 with a ride in her honour.
Emma was the former secretary of Pedals, a Nottingham Cycle Campaign. During her time with the campaign, Emma fought to make Nottingham a cycle-friendly city where everyday cycling is safe for everyone. Speaking of the commemorative event, the current chair of Pedals, Mark Beaven, said: "The ride is important both as a commemoration of Emma Metcalfe’s inspiring voluntary work as Secretary of Pedals, Nottingham's Cycle Campaign, and a celebration of some of the recent high-quality cycling infrastructure which she helped to make a reality."She was particularly influential in the creation of the new Canal St.
"Emma was full of life and passionately wanted to help people, a beautiful person and talented children’s illustrator. Very sadly she died of breast cancer in October 2021, and so never she saw her wonderful campaign work completed, but her influence in helping more people to cycle in Nottingham lives on.
"The ride is open to everyone and will be a fun social event. It is mostly on traffic-free cycle paths and will include a picnic in Colwick Country Park." Anyone who wishes to take part in the event should meet at 10.30am at the Vat and Fiddle pub in Nottingham and cyclists will make their way to Colwick Country Park at 11am.
