Chris Boardman response to 1 million increase in number of people walking and cycling
Over a million more adults have walked or cycled for travel and compared to 12 months ago (equating to a 2.1% increase).
National Active Travel Commissioner and Sport England Chair Chris Boardman said:
“Today’s Active Lives figures show that, year-on-year, one million more adults are choosing walking, wheeling and cycling as a way to get from A to B. The nationwide investment that is being put into delivering high-quality routes is paying off.
“By enabling more people to build activity into their daily lives we’re making the nation healthier, happier and greener. It’s a win-win for us all.”
