Sustrans Report – Recent Funding

http://www.sustrans.org.uk/sustrans-near-you/scotland/scotland-news In 2010 an indicative spend by recreational and touring cyclists is estimated at

almost £100million. Using the World Health Organisation’s Health Economy Assessment Tool (HEAT) it

is estimated that in 2010 the Network contributed £60million in health benefits. Cost to benefit ratios based on STAG appraisal range from 1.4:1 to 12.7:1. LOCAL BENEFIT

PLANNING AND DESIGNING FOR CYCLISTSDesigning Streets

45

THE CONCEPT OF INVISIBLE INFRASTRUCTURE

A cycle friendly environment

- Does not depend upon ‘visible’ cycle-specific measures.

- It is created by the reduction of traffic speeds and volumes.

But how?
