We deliver cycle training to over 20,000 children a year and in the Autumn term will be delivering over 50 Dr Bikes in Primary schools in Stoke on Trent alone, along side 26 learn to ride sessions. They are always well attended and the children love the training but it needs a consitent approach from central goverment and local authorities with long term funding given to actual cycle bodies to fund grass routes comunity cycle projects in all areas not just areas of Depravtion.
And how about putting funding into things like Cannock Chase the busiest trail centre in Europe with the least amount of funds. Surley the health benefits of mountain biking deserve funding to be thrown at it to promtote more people to take up more activity, not just adverts and leafletst. Build more trail facilities and legalise the secret ones & give a full accesss rights to mountain bikers as they do in Scotland instead of restricting them all time.
There are more people cycling but I feel if there more facilties coupled with DR Bikes Good bike shops and Bikeability there would be a hell of a lot more
