At Cycling UK, we know what it takes to make meaningful changes to active travel behaviours

We have decades of experience supporting communities to take action, whether that is changing travel modes and choosing, or providing access, to cycle for short journeys (and leisure) or campaigning and lobbying for local and national change. Our behavioural scientists, campaigners and researchers turn behaviour change theory into reality, through a range of projects and programmes, collaborative campaigns and partnerships.

Working with you, we will provide our expertise and insight through:

  • research projects
  • active travel frameworks
  • intervention design. 

All with our vision in mind to ensure your communities live in a healthier, happier and greener world by bike. 

Using our human centred approach, we will work with you to find solutions to challenges, keeping our key principles at the forefront of our journey together: 

  • Audience first – we don’t make assumptions; we listen and succeed using a ground up approach.
  • Data led – we commit to using existing data sets or gather what is needed to inform decision making and intervention design.
  • Excited by innovation – coming up with big ideas and forward thinking, we bring innovation to delivery methods and research projects.
  • Action oriented – we will take practical steps to overcome a problem, with a preference for implementation over theorising.

Our interventions and programmes achieve these key outcomes, contributing to increased active travel and adoption of cycling for short journeys:
