Cycling England was formed in March 2005 by the Department for Transport to get ‘more people cycling, more safely, more often’. Its creation was the result of recommendations made in August 2004 by the prior advisory body, the National Cycling Strategy Board (NCSB).
Bike for the Future II draws heavily on the recommendations of a wide range of stakeholders, particularly the major NGO’s, Sustrans, CTC, British Cycling and the London Cycle Campaign, as well as Local Authority representatives. It has benefited from the experience of Transport for London (TfL) who have consistently increased investment in cycling in the London Boroughs to its present £38m p.a., and generated 450,000 cycle trips per day.
