Second cycling and walking investment strategy: funding 'insufficient' but 'we have come a very long way', says Cycling UK. cycling

, the organisation's campaigns and policy director Roger Geffen goes as far as to question the legality of the second cycling and walking investment strategy , saying:

There is praise for the actual objectives, such as the target to increase cycling trips to 1.6 billion over the next three years, and Geffen welcomes the creation of Active Travel England plus the appointments of Chris Boardman and Danny Williams. "E-bikes could significantly increase the contribution of cycling to tackling the climate crisis, by enabling people to switch from cars for longer or hillier journeys, and in more rural areas.", Boris Johnson's premiership has been an unusual time for those who are passionate about the environment and active travel, especially those who might otherwise be completely opposed to the outgoing Prime Minister's views on a whole host of other matters.

"If so, we must hope that Active Travel England can now survive and thrive without him. We owe him a big debt of gratitude for the progress made over the past 2 years."
