Help protect funding for cycling

We need to speak up now for the benefits of investing in cycling

To create better places for people to live, and cycle paths which are well-designed and appealing to use, we need governments across the UK to put their money where their mouth is and invest in cycling.

We have a rare opportunity to press for long-term investment in England, as the UK government prepares its first Spending Review since 2021.

In Wales however, funding for cycling is in jeopardy. Despite leading the way in recent years, the Welsh government is now backpedalling on the investment needed to tackle the climate crisis, improve public health, and give people real transport choices.    

Northern Ireland has a groundbreaking legal commitment to spend 10% of the transport budget on cycling, but it's currently trailing at less than 2%. This year's budget is a chance to push for more ambition.

Wherever you live, this is our short window of opportunity to ensure money for cycling is protected.
