Cycling towns

Between summer 2008 and March 2011 Cycling England ran the cycling town initiative, funded by the Department for Transport. The aim of the initiative was to get more people cycling, more safely, more often.

In addition to Shrewsbury, there were 17 further cycling towns and cities in England:

• Bristol – Cycling City
• Aylesbury
• Blackpool
• Brighton and Hove
• Cambridge
• Colchester
• Chester
• Darlington
• Derby
• Exeter
• Lancaster with Morecambe
• Leighton-Linslade
• Southend
• Southport
• Stoke-on-Trent
• Woking
• York

Visit the Cycling England website for more information about what was achieved by the cycling towns and cities initiative.
