Our Objective
Cycling England is the national body which co-ordinates the development of cycling across England. We aim to create the conditions which will result in more people cycling, more safely, more often. Cycling England was launched by the Minister for Local Transport in March 2005, replacing the previous National Cycling Strategy Board. We are supported by a group representing a number of Government Departments, including health, education, planning and sport as well as transport.
Cycling City, Cycling Towns
England’s first Cycling City and eleven new Cycling Towns are set to receive the largest investment in cycling the country has ever seen. The funding of the new towns together with the existing six demonstration towns will total almost £100m, and will attempt to transform them into areas where cycling becomes a genuine option, improving the local environment, congestion and fitness for 2.5 million people.
