Cycling / Walking
Travelling by cycle or foot is the most environmentally friendly form
of transport.
However cycling and walking are in decline because:
- of the increasing danger and intrusive presence of road traffic
- many everyday facilities and services have moved out of the city
and town centres.
Friends of the Earth Cymru supports funding for nationwide cycling
and walking provision.
Cycling and walking:
- helps people stay fit and healthy
- increases social inclusion
- is the most environmentally friendly form of transport helping to
reduce air pollution, noise and traffic congestion
- routes for cyclists and pedestrians can bring significant amenity,
tourism and local economy benefits.
