Cycling maps

In a recent thread on this subject, I mentioned the maps that were
shortly to be published for the four local authorities that make up what
used to be Avon. I received an e-mail today with the following (posted
to the Bristol Cycling Campaign mailing list, from the minutes of the
latest Bristol Bike Forum):

"Avonwide Cycle Map. - The Avon Cycle maps were signed off on July 18th
and went off to print on July 20th. It is estimated that the printing
process will take 2 to 3 weeks and will therefore be available around
August 9th. AW stated that he was very pleased with the final print and
thanked the Bike forum for their contribution to the seemingly long
iterative process. All users route suggestions were taken into account.
He emphasised that the detail wouldn't be perfect but the council
envisages annual reprints. If users feel that detail can be improved
upon please let AW know as and when as cycle infrastructure is
constantly being added to the streets. The four maps will be out within
a week of each other."

Morning had broken, and I found when I looked that we had run out
of copper roove nails.

Which is an old Celtic word meaning river. The River Avon goes rather a
long way, so I was wondering whether the maps would extend to e.g.
Bradford on Avon, Bath, or other interesting areas close to my in-laws.
It is not quite as silly a question as it might at first seem.

I'm in London, although I have lots of relatives in Bristol. How do
I get copies and how much do they cost.

London's current bike maps are an update of the Cycle-City maps with
useful input from focus groups etc. Are Bristol's?

Actually, they will cover CUBA, an acronym for Counties that Used to Be
Avon.

Dunno. The initial plan was that they would be free, but there was
mention recently of a possible charge.

I found a page on the South Gloucestershire website that says they'll be
free, but this page probably hasn't been updated for a couple of years:

"It will be a handy, pocket-sized map and will be distributed free of
charge to members of the public who request it."

Not sure about Cycle-city, but ISTR they've been designed by the same
people who did the previous Bristol & Bath cycling map. There has been
plenty of input from interested parties, I've attended 2 meetings
myself. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product.
