What needs to change? Need to feel abnormal for using cars for short trips in urban areas Make cycling easy, safe and comfortable Fully separated cycle and pedestrian routes on all arterial roads. Adopt strict liability on roads to protect the most vulnerable road users Change the image of cycling so that it becomes normal
Conclusion Less pollution The save of money No more wasting fuel Providing safe infrastructure leads to a significant increase in cycling Campaigning is important to turn cycling into a justified means of transport, to change cultural perceptions Adopting best practice from other countries and cities can help speed up this process
