<p>The Government supports various campaigns to encourage people to cycle more, including
the Big Bike Revival programme delivered by Cycling UK, and local programmes delivered
by local authorities under the Department’s £20 million per annum Access Fund. The
effectiveness of these and other campaigns is considered in the first Cycling and
Walking Investment Strategy Report to Parliament published in February 2020.</p><p>
</p><p>The Government is committed to ensuring that every adult and child who wants
it can be trained how to ride a bicycle safely. This builds on our manifesto commitment
to offer Bikeability training to all schoolchildren. This year, the Department’s Bikeability
funding has enabled 28 local authorities to offer adult cycle training, and £235,000
of it will go towards family cycle training. The Department has also provided £2 million
to Transport for London to support adult cycle training in the capital, and its Access
Fund has allowed 16 local authorities to provide adult cycle training in their areas.</p><p>
</p><p>Decisions on future funding for campaigns and Bikeability will be a matter
for the Spending Review in the autumn.</p>
