UK Department of Transport Cycling Delivery Plan...

To achive elevated cycle lanes  we are going to need more money spent on cycling infrastructure.

UK Government tries to expand cycling without spending money ( they got one out of two things right )

  1. 'The Government's vision is that walking and cycling become the natural
  1. choices for shorter journeys - or as part of a longer journey- regardless of
  1. age, gender, fitness level or income we have set out our ambition for cycling and walking up until 2025:'
This is the part I like 
  • 'To double cycling, where cycling activity is measured as the
  • estimated total number of bicycle stages made each year, from 0.8
  • billion stages in 2013 to 1.6 billion stages4;'
While most of this money is going to be spent on small improvements in at-grade road facilities and much more money for cycling cheerleaders it's still good to see the ambition.
