-A mass education program about the benefits of cycling in primary schools, secondary schools, universities and work places throughout the UK.
-Cycling facilities (e.g. lockers, secure bike sheds, showers) in the locations mentioned above.
-Longer cycle superhighways in London and superhighways in every city in the UK.
