It does! Itโ€™s part of the wider campaign to get more people walking, wheeling and cycling. There might be a similar team in your area.

They do that too! If you try looking for Active Travel in your area they may have something going.

Active Travel initiative in Carlisle to encourage people to take up cycling and be confident on the roads and cycleways.
