cycling: Improving conditions for cycling could help our congested, polluted towns and cities, tackle the inactivity crisis, reduce the burden on the NHS and make streets and neighbourhoods safer and more pleasant, according to The Guardian. The Walking and Cycling Alliance wants 17 per person per year to be spent on active travel, rising to 34 per person by 2025. However, with transport now accounting for a higher share of overall emissions than any other sector, helping people drive less and cycle more is arguably crucial in tackling climate change. Spending is currently 7 per person annually. Others remain stuck in car land. But some parties are recognising cycling's potential and coming up with innovative and needed ideas.
