Bike Week
Bike Week, delivered by Cycling UK, promotes the physical and mental health benefits of cycling, as well as the environmental advantages such as reduced greenhouse gases and air pollution.
However, safety concerns continue to deter the increased use of bicycles, as cyclists are 15 times more likely to be killed on roads than drivers. If towns and cities are to become more sustainable and meet new Government targets, the roads of the future must better accommodate pedestrians, cyclists, and public transport.
