If you have been following the reporting of Tour de France by ITV4 you may have seen the piece last week by Chris Boardman on cycling in the Netherlands.
If not then take 5 minutes to view the ITV video: http://www.itv.com/tourdefrance/features/video-chris-boardman-on-the-dutch-love-affair-with-cycling
[being ITV there is a 30 second advert at the start before the serious message]
Even if you did see it the first time it is worth watching again and reflecting on how we could bring about similar changes here.
