Getting Moving: Cycling Manifesto for Greater Manchester
Getting Moving
Created by Love Your Bike, ‘Getting Moving’ brings together a range of organisations in Greater Manchester in support of getting more people cycling for more of their journeys. With its target of 20% of Greater Manchester journeys under 5 miles by bike 2020, it is structured around 5 principles:
- Cycling infrastructure should be high quality, consistent and appropriate.
- Cycling should be fully integrated into the public transport system.
- On-road cycling training courses should be provided free of charge for adults.
- Residential areas should have a default speed limit of 20mph.
- Campaigns to promote cycling from A to B should be bold, sustained and targeted.
