"Walking, scooting and cycling to school has great health benefits, it's more sustainable to the local environment and it's a great way for children to gain independence."
Ling Moor pupils celebrate Walk to School week in North Hykeham [Published This is Lincolnshire - 30 mins ago]
...Sir Chris said: "Cycling isn't just about winning medals, it's an activity for everyone, be they cycling for sport, transport or just for fun. "Thus I believe it's incredibly important that Scotland invests in safe cycling for all. "I thoroughly support the aims and objectives of Pedal on Parliament and I urge cyclists and non-cyclists alike to attend." One of the organisers of the event, Sally Hinchcliffe, told BBC Scotland: "We'd like to see a minimum of five per cent of the transport budget spent on cycling, which seems fair when the Scottish Government is looking for ten per cent of journeys to be made by bike. "We're also looking for better design of cycling infrastructure and slower speeds on the roads in areas where people live." A Scottish Government spokesman said: "Scotland's National Cycle Network in Scotland has over 2,000 miles of cycle routes, with 44 million trips being made annually, and this continues to grow. "We are committed to making it easier and safer for people to cycle and that is why we are investing almost £58 million on cycling infrastructure, training and road safety projects through Sustrans, Cycling Scotland and local authorities. "We have also provided additional funding to Cycling Scotland to develop a Mutual Respect Campaign aimed at all road users which will launch this August.""

...It feels like you're in the middle of nowhere even though you can see the motorway," he told BBC News. "It reminded me of being in Holland. "I had to follow a reen (drainage ditch) but that has the potential to be surfaced." Mr Smith said the advantage of the route over one which followed the coast was its position. "What people want is something that's going to go directly from A to B that they can commute along." Cardiff Council spokeswoman said the proposals were part of the development of the Enfys cycle network in the city. She added: "We hope to be in a position to start consultation on the schemes in autumn 2013 and then to bid for further funding to build the scheme in 2014/15. "The project will create a much needed and regionally important commuting and leisure route between the two cities.""
