Cycling for the Rest of Us

Cycling should be the simplest, easiest and most convenient way to get around in most places in the UK, and yet the reality is that it's not – the roads are busy, and feel unsafe or unpleasant to ride on, and what cycle paths there are seem to take the long way round, or run out just when you need them most.

The Dutch and the Danes have demonstrated that it is easy to provide safe, attractive and efficient routes for cycling, away from fast traffic, which anybody and everybody – men and women, old and young, and rich and poor – want to use.

We at the Cycling Embassy of Great Britain want to see an end to cycling being pushed to the margins; we want to see a network of direct, well-designed, separated cycle routes that are safe even for young children to use.

Why I joined the Cycling Embassy...

“I would like proper bicycle infrastructure akin to the Dutch level, so that I can safely and conveniently cycle everywhere I want with my family instead of using a car or public transport. I feel that the Cycling Embassy creates a unique opportunity to lobby for quality infrastructure that is so needed.”
