Have you been affected by the fuel crisis?

The price of petrol is rocketing at the pumps and does not look set to decrease any time soon. Cycling UK would like to hear your story

According to Department for Transport statistics, 71% of all journeys made in England in 2020, are under five miles. Of these, it is estimated a whopping 68% are driven.

While there will always be clear examples of where cycling is impractical, it’s likely the vast proportion of these trips could be cycled, walked, public transport taken or a combination of all three.

With the cost of living going up, and the prices at the petrol pump following suit, a potential solution to saving money for the trips where you really need a car, is to start cycling those shorter journeys. 

If that’s something you have consciously done recently due to the cost increases, or it’s something you wish you could do but can’t for various reasons (lack of safe infrastructure, distances are too far etc) then we would like to hear your story. 

Please take a couple of minutes to fill in the form below and help us to make a better world for cycling.
