Figures show 29% of trips in and around the city are made by people on bikes and numbers are rising year on year. The cycling network across Greater Cambridge is set to expand further in 2018, as the County Council and GCP are together investing millions of pounds to encourage more people to travel by two wheels instead of four in a bid to reduce congestion on the roads.

Cambridgeshire County Council and the Greater Cambridge Partnership (GCP) will be working together with sustainable transport charity Sustrans to produce reports capturing data on infrastructure, travel habits, public attitudes and the impact of cycling as part of the Bike Life initiative. Bike Life, founded in 2014, has been used to develop cycling strategies, justify investment and delivery of schemes, support air quality plans, and demonstrate the benefits of cycling. The reports, due to be published in 2020 and 2022, will help to build the case for a better cycling framework and inform planning at a local level whilst shaping the funding landscape for active travel across the UK.
