A Sustainable Future for Cycling

Cycling is an ideal mode for local urban and suburban trips. In the right circumstances it can also combine with public transport to be part of a longer journey. The Government wants to encourage people to cycle more. We therefore consider that Cycling should play a significant part in all local authority plans to deal with the growing demand for travel while reducing the impact of transport on the environment.
