E-cargo bikes rule ❀️ (hired not owned - yet - sadly).

A huge 81% of trips under one mile are now being walked or wheeled with the average distance walked at the highest level since records began - at 230 miles per person in 2024.

Great to see some fantastic walking statistics in today's National Travel Survey results.

Saturday morning ritual bike ride to a nearby apple barn (now with my two eldest). Really proud of Gus going on the road for the first time meaning we could cycle all the way from home. πŸ‘

Being prescribed activity transformed Elena's life following the loss of her mother.

She's gone from cycling laps round the track to riding to the shops, making friends and improving her mental health along the way.

National Commissioner @chrisboardman.bsky.social met with several Mayors yesterday at #UKREiif to discuss how active travel is the foundation of successful integrated transport networks.

Active Travel England is looking forward to engaging with Mayors across the country in the coming weeks.
