Samenvatting
The National Cycling Strategy (NCS) was launched in July 1996. It aims to establish a culture favourable to the increased use of bicycles for all age groups; develop sound policies and good practice; and seek out innovative and effective means of fostering accessibility by bike. A National Cycling Forum has been established to oversee the implementation of the NCS, and seven working groups have been set up covering: key strategic outputs; cycle security; marketing; intermodality; HGV's and cyclists; cycling and road safety; and best practice. This DETR leaflet also includes brief details about cycling related projects in the DETR research programme, taken from the 1997/98 DETR Urban and Local Transport Compendium, of Research Projects.
