WHO WE ARE

Cycling England has been charged by the Government to deliver programmes that encourage more people to cycle more safely and more often. We believe cycling can contribute considerably to tackling some of the biggest challenges facing society today, from lack of healthy exercise to childhood obesity, traffic congestion and air pollution. Cycling is a key 'life-skill' as no other everyday activity can do as much both for individuals and the whole community.

Cycling England is made up of experts in transport policy, engineering, public health, the cycle industry, local government, cycle sport, cycle training and education. They are:

• Phillip Darnton
• Lynn Sloman
• Dr Alison Hill
• Christian Wolmar
• John Grimshaw MBE
• Peter King
• Kevin Mayne
• Dave Merrett
• Chris Spencer
