Some nervous cyclists tend to ride close to the edge of the lane. This is understandable, but it’s actually safer to take a confident road position away from the curb. That way you’re more visible, and make it harder for drivers to overtake you unsafely.Like anything new, it’ll take a while to get used to it and fine-tune your routine. But you can do this.

You’re about to open up a whole new side to your city. As you get used to riding your regular journeys, make a note of the parts you don’t like. Then see if you can adjust the route to avoid them.

The team plan to gather baseline data using a novel app-based survey technology, TravelVu. At the same time, we will monitor air quality data at the school (on-going research project) and on the journey to school using portable sensors (on loan from the Urban Flows Observatory).

This interim report describes the effect of investment in cycle infrastructure in the eight Cycle City Ambition cities up to the end of 2017. It reports the increase in cycling along routes that received capital investment; city-wide cycling trends; propensity to cycle by gender, age and ethnicity; and differences in the demographic profile of new and existing cyclists. A final report will be published in 2021. Says Rupert Furness, Deputy Director, Active Travel, Department for Transport: 'After almost two years of digital meetings, workshops and conferences I am looking forward to the opportunity of meeting friends both old and new at this year’s Cycle City Active City conference in Sheffield to talk about building on the exciting initiatives for Active Travel that have been a silver lining during the pandemic.'
