Sustainable Transport in Barking

and Surrounding Areas

uncle_colin_on_his_bike_by_thomasWelcome to Stibasa! The site is about sustainable transport, particularly cycling, but it is also about sustainable living. It is focussed on Barking, where I live, but broadens to LB Barking & Dagenham and wider, sometimes. It acts as a website for the local branch of the London Cycling Campaign, and I am am also a Local Cyclists' Right to Ride Representative for CTC.

The rides and events listed are mainly local LCC rides starting in east London (that's east of the River Lee, and North of the Thames, for me) but also other local events in LB Barking & Dagenham, especially if they have a sustainability theme.

I'm interested in public transport, as you will gather, and I tried to maintain a site about Barking Station, particularly as no-one else had a comprehensive and accurate one, but now I find that Wikipedia's page is good.

I'm also interested in technology, particularly where it is used for sustainability. The basic package for mainstream sustainable living, for me, is: folding bike, mobile phone, broadband and Oyster card. I was aiming gradually to rework and transfer material from the old stibasa site, but I rarely find time. I now enter helpful, interesting and entertaining snippets (I hope) onto my blog. I'm pleased to receive helpful comments and corrections. Colin Newman.
