A
Hello
there,
my
name
is
clive
andrews
and
I'm
with
a
community
group
called
shawron
by
cycle,
and
we
exist
because
we
believe
that
getting
around
by
bike
should
be
as
easy
as
possible
as
normal
as
possible
and
as
safe
as
possible
in
our
town,
and
for
that
matter,
any
town.
I'm
here
to
talk
for
a
little
bit
about
cycling
and
to
an
extent
walking
and
the
role
they
can
take
in
conversations
about
climate.
Let's
start
with
a
couple
of
stats
to
set
the
scene.
A
We
know
that
a
third
of
uk
co2
emissions
are
from
the
transport
sector.
There's
no
denying
transport
plays
a
significant
role
in
our
conversations
about
climate
now
we
know
flying
represents
a
significant
part
of
that
we
know
flying
is
problematic,
but
let's
just
put
that
to
one
side
for
a
moment
and
look
at
the
surface
transport.
This
shows
that
59
of
our
emissions
from
surface
transport
come
from
our
use
of
cars.
A
A
It
doesn't
reflect
the
way
we
live
and
it
doesn't
reflect
the
fact
that
for
some
journeys,
cars
are
a
very,
very
useful
way
to
get
around
for
some
journeys.
For
some
reasons,
for
some
people,
cars
can
be
brilliant,
but
let's
look
at
the
way
we
use
those
cars
and
the
journeys
we
choose
with
journeys
between
one
and
five
miles,
so
that
could
be
a
journey
to
school,
to
work
to
the
shops,
we're
using
cars
for
71
of
those
journeys
between
one
and
five
miles.
Now,
that's
a
lot.
A
That's
a
lot
of
journeys
that,
if
only
a
certain
amount
of
those
people,
if
only
a
certain
chunk
of
that
71
percent,
felt
more
able
to
choose
something
like
cycling
or
walking.
Perhaps
we
could
really
change
the
way
that
we
we
use
cars
and
the
role
that
that
has
in
our
emissions.
So
what
do
we
do?
Do
we
simply
put
on
campaigns
saying
to
people?
You
should
ride
a
bike.
You
should
walk
more,
please
ride
a
bike.
Please
walk
it's
fun.
It's
healthy!
A
Those
campaigns
do
have
a
role,
there's
something
to
be
said.
For
them
they
sometimes
have
a
beneficial
impact,
but
they
don't
always
work
and
I
think,
to
understand
why
they
don't
work.
We
need
to
look
at
what
we
might
call
that
the
barriers
to
cycling
the
reasons
people
actually
decline,
that
option
to
cycle
when
it's
offered
to
them
and
when
you
look
at
it,
when
you
ask
people
what's
holding
them
back
time
and
time
again,
the
number
one
thing
that
comes
out
is
feelings.
Around
safety.
A
66
of
uk
adults
agree
with
the
phrase
it's
too
dangerous
for
me
to
cycle
on
the
roads,
and
I
think
that's
terrible.
I
think
that's
a
real
shame,
but
it
does
tell
us
that
safety
and
feelings
around
safety
really
hold
the
key.
If
we
can
crack
that,
we
can
make
some
progress,
so
we
live
in
interesting
times.
A
Don't
we
look
at
the
lanes
that
have
popped
up
in
recent
months,
prompted
by
covid
various
pop-up
cycle
lanes,
pop-up
cycle
schemes
have
emerged
in
towns
like
worthing
in
towns
like
shawn
and
other
places
all
around
the
country.
These
are
making
a
difference.
They
are
actually
helping
to
change
people's
behavior
from
the
research.
We're
doing.
People
have
told
us
that,
yes,
since
these
lanes
have
been
built,
I
ride
my
bike
more.
I
drive
my
car
less.
A
We
know
that
these
lanes
aren't
perfect.
We
know
that
some
schemes
are
working
nicely.
Others
are
problematic.
Some
need
changing
tweaking
rethinking
that's
all
part
of
the
process,
but
the
good
news
is
that
there's
guidance
there.
The
uk
government,
through
the
department
of
transport,
has
put
together
a
lot
of
the
best
practice
that
they've
learned
over
recent
years
and
there's
now
a
good
guide
that
they
can
use
to
really
steer
all
those
design
decisions
and
the
great
news
is
there's
so
much
more
than
just
putting
lanes.
A
A
So
that
happens
at
a
national
level
and
maybe
a
county
level
for
us,
but
there's
also
things
that
go
on
at
a
district
level
and
we're
lucky
here
in
adrian
worthy
that
our
councils
have
put
together,
what's
called
a
local
cycling
and
walking
infrastructure
plan,
and
this
is
a
sort
of
a
a
map
that
looks
forward
for
the
next
few
years
and
says
if
we're
going
to
have
a
real
usable,
tangible
network,
not
just
a
series
of
pop-up
initiatives
here
and
there,
but
something
that's
really
usable
as
a
network.
This
is
how
it
looks.
A
This
is
a
basis
that
we
can
use
to
apply
for
funding
to
plan
ahead.
So
what
we
need?
A
combination
of
this
and
the
previous
document,
I
showed
you.
We
need
our
local
authorities
to
stick
to
these
ideas,
to
use
these
ideas
and
make
sure
these
aren't
just
pieces
of
paper.
These
inform
the
way
they
make
decisions
over
the
coming
years
to
really
help
us
make
cycling
safer,
easier
and
an
option
that
more
people
feel
they
can
use,
and
it's
not
just
cycling,
of
course,
walking.
A
There
are
so
many
innovations
that
can
be
made
to
make
walking
an
easier,
safer,
more
efficient
way
of
getting
around
where
pedestrians
don't
feel
like
second-class
citizens.
They
feel
like
their
journeys
through
our
streets
are
really
important
and
are
really
respected.
There
are
so
many
benefits,
it's
not
just
about
climate.
When
you
make
cycling
and
walking
easier,
you
bring
benefits
for
air
pollution,
for
health,
for
social
interaction
for
road
safety.
A
I
think,
alongside
the
really
important
climate
piece,
cycling
and
walking,
come
with
many
other
benefits
wrapped
up,
which
makes
me
feel
that
getting
this
right
makes
such
a
difference
to
people's
lives,
not
just
at
a
local
level,
but
also,
of
course,
a
global
level.
Thanks
so
much-
and
I
wish
you
all
the
best.
