We’ve got a new website and we want to make more of an impact with our articles, event listings, emails and social media posts. The right image or video can provide a real boost to our messaging and we’re hoping members and local residents can help.
What are we looking for?
Photos and videos we’re looking for include the following and we’re particularly interested in ones that are taken in Haringey:
Good cycle friendly infrastructure
We want examples of where there’s infrastructure or initiatives we’re proud of such as Low traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs) , cycle lanes, school streets, good quality cycle parking, local bike shops and quiet routes.
Where things go wrong
Cars parked in bike lanes, poorly designed cycle infrastructure, roads that leave you uncomfortable cycling or somewhere where it’s strikingly obvious that a cycle lane or similar infrastructure would be appropriate.
People cycling in Haringey
Interested here in photos of people cycling around Haringey whether this be on an HCC ride or cycling independently. We’re particularly interested in photos that include people that have traditionally been under-represented (ethnic minorities, families, women etc). If people are clearly identifiable, we’d be grateful if you have permission from the people included – something that’s even more important if they’re children
How will photos be used?
Photos will be used just for Haringey Cycling Campaign’s communications in our work advocating for better provision for active travel and won’t be shared with third parties.
How can I submit photos?
If you use Google Photos to host your own photos?

We would encourage you (definitely optional) to provide some details about the photo such as where it was taken (eg looking south down Crouch Hill Road) and any other details you might think are relevant (eg Bounds Green LTN)
