But even more significant are the public health benefits which weren’t included I teat £3bn. With the main health benefits being reduced absenteeism with cyclists being 10% less likely to be sick from work.

It also gives what they believe to be the main ways to gain very high cycling levels in northern European countries – preferential traffic lights, traffic calming, lower speed limits, strict liability collision laws and better cycle storage and parking.
