Transport Secretary Grant Shapps has today (Friday 9 April) announced  £18m for cycle training across the country to ensure children and their families have the confidence to choose active travel, as the Government encourages everyone walk or cycle where possible.

Chair of Trustees, Dr Alison Hill, reflects on such an extraordinary year and looks ahead to 2021.

At the Bikeability Trust, we support active travel initiatives that help encourage children and adults to cycle more often and more safely.
