1. The document discusses cycling research being conducted in England, including projects examining cycling trends, comparing England to Denmark, and understanding cycling through qualitative research methods. 2. The research is using household interviews, go-alongs, and ethnography to understand cycling via household decision-making in case study areas in Leeds, Leicester, Worcester, and Lancaster. 3. Early interpretations from the qualitative research are analyzing how emerging discourses around sustainable transportation differ across the case study areas and populations with different housing, car ownership, and demographic characteristics.

Editor's Notes
- More contingent cycling. The third category is too-scared-to-contemplate. I have no photos of such people cycling, of course. Because they dont yet exist. Thats our job, in the UK. To produce the conditions which will produce new cyclists.
