The Cycling Safety Panel reported in 2014. This year, 16 people have died while cycling. Four in the past week. It's clear not enough is being done to reduce risk and protect people on bikes. The Cycling Action Network (CAN) Board meets this weekend, and will continue to work with our partners to reduce risk. We're dedicated to safer cycling.

We'll meet with Ministers in the new Government to press for action. We're counting on your support. Join us.
