Britain's New Cycling Minister Calls for More 'Everyday' Riders

Britain needs more everyday cyclists, the sorts who pedal a short distance in ordinary clothes with a basket on their bike, as opposed to a dedicated minority who speed along in Lycra, according to the new minister for cycling, Robert Goodwill.

Tory MP who is a junior transport remit, himself often pedals around London on his Brompton folding bike in his suit, sometimes without a helmet. Goodwill wants the UK to mimic places like the Netherlands or Denmark, where the equivalent figure is more than 20 per cent and the vast majority of cyclists ride practical bikes at moderate speeds in ordinary clothes. The Dutch government spends more than £20 per person per year on cycling, while the equivalent for England, outside London, is about one-tenth of that.
