Introduction: This leaflet introduces and summarises the recently published Guidelines for Cycle Audit and Cycle Review. The Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions’ (DETR) welcomes the introduction of detailed guidance on the practice of carrying out Cycle Audit on new schemes, and Cycle Review on existing networks.
Cycle facilities and other measures to boost cycling are being introduced in Britain as never before. Government has confirmed its commitment to triple cycle use by 2010 and most local authorities across the country have some sort of pro-cycling policy with schemes on an order paper with increasing regularity.
Cycling is an easy and low-impact activity which can significantly improve individual fitness and which has the potential to have a major impact on public health.
It can help to reduce the risk of a range of health problems, notably heart disease and cancer, the leading preventable causes of
premature death.
