Arup and Sustrans, the walking and cycling charity, have today launched a new report, Cycling for everyone, that reveals inequalities within cycling participation in urban areas between different demographics.
In order to address these barriers, the report highlights recommendations which aim to help to work towards reducing inequalities within cycling.
The report comes out as the Prime Minister is to announce the new Government’s Obesity Strategy, including GPs to be asked to prescribe cycling.
The Covid-19 pandemic has brought to light many disparities within society, with people from ethnic minority groups and other disadvantaged communities being disproportionately affected by Covid-19 and over-represented within the key worker sector.
