The Get Britain Cycling inquiry was an initiative of the All Party Parliamentary Cycling Group (APPCG), a cross party body with members in both the House of Commons and the House of Lords, with the aim “to enable more people across the UK to take up cycling, cycle more often and cycle more safely by interviewing or receiving written evidence from expert witnesses on the obstacles that must be overcome and suggesting concrete, effective measures to be undertaken by central and local government as well as the wider world of business and the third sector”. To read the report, click here.
A petition was set up calling on the Prime Minister to pledge to that the government will implement the recommendations of the report. Since the number of signatures soon exceeded 10 000, the government was obliged to provide a response which you can read when you read the petition online (see later). If the number exceeds 100 000, the petition will be considered for debate by the Backbench Business Committee. This is why you should add your name to the petition (if you haven't already). Click here to sign the petition.
Thank you.
