Safety In Numbers For Cyclists

EDM number 1431 in 2008-09, proposed by Gwyn Prosser on 06/05/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Cycling.

That this House acknowledges the evidence that cyclists gain from safety in numbers, in other words cycling gets safer the more cyclists there are; welcomes the target in the Government's draft Road Safety Strategy to halve the risks of cycling within 10 years; believes that this target can best be met by also aiming for substantial increases in cycle use in order to maximise the safety in numbers effect, thereby also benefiting health, communities, the economy and the environment; urges that the Road Safety Strategy should tackle the fears which deter people from cycling, such as traffic speeds, irresponsible driving, hostile roads and junctions and lorries; and calls for cycle training to be made available to people of all ages so as to achieve more as well as safer cycling.

This motion has been signed by a total of 208 MPs, 4 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
