Call You and Yours: Cycling
Are you one of the growing number of cyclists? The government wants to make it easier and safer to cycle and start a 'cycling revolution.' Julian Worricker takes your calls.
Are you one of the growing number of cyclists in the UK? If not, why not?
The Government has announced plans to spend over ninety million pounds to make it easier and safer to cycle in England. David Cameron wants to create a "new generation of cyclists" and a "cycling revolution."But there's a long way to go. while over thirty percent of those in the Netherlands cite a bike as their main mode of transport - the figure is just 2.2% for those in the UK.
So, will this money make a difference? And what could be done to tempt you onto a bike, or if you're already a regular cyclist, to make you feel safer?
Or are you a driver sick of cyclists who already think they rule the road?
We want your views.
