As an election approaches, we want you to have top quality facts on cycling. There are many myths about cycling! And the facts which counter those myths make good media copy.

Cycling is popular, practical, responsible, healthy, safe, and pays its own way. But there are many myths about cycling, and this page provides the facts and figures to counter these. 

At 26% of voters, cyclists are a significant voter group. Every voting cyclist also votes for a cyclist too young to vote. And every vote for cycling is also a vote for a better life for all – for better transport, health and neighbourhoods. So when we ‘vote cycling’, everybody gains.
