Sustrans: the sustainable transport charity whose projects include promoting the National Cycle Network – www.sustrans.org.uk

Sustrans makes smarter travel choices possible, desirable and inevitable. We’re a leading UK charity enabling people to travel by foot, bike or public transport for more of the journeys we make every day. We work with families, communities, policy-makers and partner organisations so that people are able to choose healthier, cleaner and cheaper journeys, with better places and spaces to move through and live in.

LCC are the voice of cyclists in Greater London, working to create a better city for all. LCC are an 11,000-strong membership charity, making sure that everyone who cycles, or wants to cycle, has a voice in Greater London.

This Highway Code applies to England, Scotland and Wales. The Highway Code is essential reading for everyone.
The most vulnerable road users are pedestrians, particularly children, older or disabled people, cyclists, motorcyclists and horse riders. It is important that all road users are aware of the Code and are considerate towards each other. This applies to pedestrians as much as to drivers and riders.

Outdoor recreation has the potential to provide physical and mental health benefits to everyone, and access to the countryside and other ‘green space’ is one of the primary means of obtaining these benefits. There is strong evidence to show that outdoor recreation is a pastime enjoyed by large numbers of people throughout the United Kingdom.
