Cycling to be taken seriously?

9:56am

Lord Andrew Ado­nis sets out his trans­port man­i­festo with par­tic­u­lar ref­er­ence to cycling …

In pro­mot­ing low car­bon trans­port, there is no lower car­bon or health­ier means of get­ting from A to B, besides walk­ing, than cycling. Cycling has for too long been the Cin­derella of trans­port pol­icy – adored but neglected, when in fact it ought to be cen­tral to our think­ing and plan­ning if we are seri­ous about a low car­bon and health­ier future. Improved cycling facil­i­ties will be one of my key pri­or­i­ties as Sec­re­tary of State. It is no acci­dent that the coun­tries which are most seri­ous about cycling – I think par­tic­u­larly of Hol­land and Ger­many – are also among those which have the most joined-up trans­port sys­tems, because cycling by its very nature is a short dis­tance mode of trans­port and requires good inter­change facil­i­ties if it is to be a cen­tral part of a wider system.
