Join The Times and thousands of others telling David Cameron to start a cycling revolution today
Today sees the publication of the much anticipated Get Britain Cycling inquiry report. Over the past four months hundreds of hours of evidence have been submitted, pages of statistics compiled, all pointing to the same clear message: Britain's political leaders must act decisively to truly bring about a cycling revolution, with pressure today building on David Cameron himself.
The report opens with a bold and concise message that pulls no punches: "Too many people in the UK feel they have no choice but to travel in ways that are dangerous, unhealthy, polluting and costly, not just to their own wallets but also to the public purse. Urgent action is required to address Britain’s chronic levels of obesity, heart disease, air pollution and congestion...
There is an alternative. When more people cycle or walk, public health improves, obesity reduces and roads become safer. By changing how people travel, we can create places where people want to live, work, shop and do business. We can make people healthier, happier and wealthier. We can save huge costs to our NHS.
To realise the full potential of this vision will require a fundamental cultural shift in the way we think about the way we travel. Cycling needs to be not just a personal option, when we decide how to travel for work, school or leisure, but as a core issue when planning our streets, roads, buildings and communities."
