The government has said it can achieve its goal of doubling cycling, and is now legally bound to do so. The government’s intention to launch a CWIS (the publication of the cycling and walking investment strategy) was first announced in January 2015. The CWIS has been the result of years of pressure from cycling and walking groups and the concerted efforts of a small but dedicated group of civil servants. The CWIS promises up to £1.2bn will be spent on cycling and walking by 2020/21. We can expect £26 per head to be invested in cycling and walking over the next four years for everyone in England outside of London. With so much funding for cycling and walking it is absolutely crucial and in the areas where it will have the most impact. There’s some excellent guidance for councils on how to begin planning and delivering comprehensive cycling and walking networks in their areas. This is supported by the government-funded Propensity to Cycle Tool, which allows local authorities to map the potential for increased travel by bike under different scenarios. The government has said it can achieve its goal of doubling cycling with half the recommended amount. The people want their local roads and streets to be well designed, well maintained and, above, all safe and attractive for everyone to use. The health, environmental, economic and quality-of-life benefits of doing so will be enormous.I think that it is a good initiative on the part of the government. That will be the best option because, in this way, the people who wants to be kept in shape, will be able to do it. It also will encourage another people to practise cycling or walking.
