Getting unused bikes out of sheds and garages and back on road works, says Cycling UK Charity says one in three people responding to its Big Bike Revival initiative use bike for one in two jouneys they previously did by car cycling
Cycling UK says that its Big Bike Revival programme, which encourages people to get unused bikes out of their garages and sheds and start using them for everyday trips, has led to one in three people it has encouraged to cycle more cutting their car journeys by half.
And in a follow-up survey conducted by Cycling UK after three months, 36 per cent of respondents said that they were now using two wheels for trips that they had previously undertaken by car. “The programme’s track record of getting people out of cars and onto a bike is a clear sign that people are willing to cycle when it is introduced to them in the right way. I’m especially pleased that the Big Bike Revival has reached people who don’t usually cycle, like women and people from minority ethnic groups.
