Travelling by cycle or foot is the most environmentally friendly form of transport.

However cycling and walking are in decline because:

of the increasing danger and intrusive presence of road traffic
many everyday facilities and services have moved out of the city and town centres.

Friends of the Earth Cymru supports funding for nationwide cycling and walking provision.

Cycling and walking:

is the most environmentally friendly form of transport helping to reduce air pollution, noise and traffic congestion
routes for cyclists and pedestrians can bring significant amenity, tourism and local economy benefits.
