About the speakers
Andy Shrimpton has been in the cycle trade for 30 years and is Managing Director of Cycle Heaven Ltd. A trip to Copenhagen in the 1980s was his Damascene moment and set him on a cycle journey from which he has never returned. Not prone to flights fancy, Andy simply believes the bike to be the liberator from the ills of modernity, saviour of the city and a tool for conviviality. Find out why - and why the number 42.
Robyn Jankel moved to York from London in 2017. Shortly afterwards, she joined York Cycle Campaign as the first woman on the committee, pushing for representation of marginalised groups. She is now the chair of the campaign. Last year she cycled the Danube on her trusty flower-covered Dutch bike, in dresses and sparkly trainers, to prove that cycling really is for everybody. A few months later, she was named one of Cycling UK’s 100 Women in Cycling for 2022. She genuinely believes that cycling is something of a panacea and has the potential to change the world - but for now, she’s starting with York.
