Inclusive cycling in cities and towns

Women, disabled people and older people along with other demographic groups are facing deep-rooted barriers to their experience of, and interaction with, transport systems and travel. Together with Sustrans, we are calling for more inclusive policy and planning around cycling to ensure everyone can access its benefits. 

By working in partnership, Arup and Sustrans are able to better understand how to make cycling in urban areas accessible and attractive for everyone. We highlight the barriers faced and offer initial recommendations to councils, planners and policy makers to encourage those who currently do not, to consider cycling.
