Cycling campaigners call for end to culture war on active travel

Exclusive: New government urged to make coherent and committed investment in cycling for transport

The new government should end the previous culture war-based approach to active travel and start investing properly in safe bike routes, the country's biggest cycling campaign group has said.

The call from Cycling UK comes after a survey it commissioned, which looked into the reasons people don't ride a bike, found that almost half cited safety worries, with older riders particularly concerned about this.
