The European Parliament's Transport Committee showed serious love for #cycling today by voting overwhelmingly for the 'European Cycling Declaration,' the EU's most ambitious political commitment for more and better cycling in Europe. Chapeau to Karima Delli for helping to light the spark all the way back in June 2022, leading the Parliament's first ever pro-cycling parliamentary resolution in February 2023, and seeing this step completed today. The next step is to achieve full agreement with the Council and Commission, then adoption (foreseen in early April). 👉 What is the European Cycling Declaration? Read our take from last October: https://lnkd.in/eaQyjKT4 👉 https://lnkd.in/ewt4BJ4P

New data from PeopleForBikes finds that England is lagging behind Europe for how cycling-friendly its towns and cities are. England received an average city score of 59 out of 100, compared with an average European city score of 71 when England is excluded. “The uptake of cycling in cities is directly connected to government priorities. When government leaders invest in making cycling more accessible and appealing, more people choose cycling for everyday transportation,” PeopleForBikes President and CEO Jenn Dice told Zag Daily. “If more cities in England make similar long-term commitments to invest in cycling, they will gradually catch up to their European peers.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/e7ttCK9p
