Background
We believe that investing in intercity cycling paths would have multifaceted benefits. It would encourage people to commute by bike as opposed to cars which would be more climate-friendly, It would generate a boost in GDP as an increase in government investment, and it would promote exercise among the general population which would decrease pressure on the NHS as people live healthier lives.
