Tory manifesto

QUOTE:
5. Expect to see more bikes as both parties back cycling campaigns

Unsurprisingly for a famous bike rider, Boris' manifesto has quite a focus on encouraging more cycling - a campaign he backed heavily while in his role as London mayor.

He says a new Cycling Infrastructure Fund amounting to £350 million will be used to back mandatory design standards for new cycling routes so that more people can pedal safely to work and families can go out together.

The proposal also said it would extend cycling proficiency training to every child and work with the NHS to promote cycling as part of healthier living.

Part of Labour's Vision Zero approach to road safety also included a pledge to improve pavements and cycleways so they are safer for vulnerable road users.

But the so-called Boris bike initiative started before he was mayor.
