Transport contributes to these problems.</p> <p>Over the past century human powered journeys have increasingly been replaced by motorised journeys. Road transport accounts for a substantial and growing share of Europe's CO2 emissions, while the cost of motoring is a heavy burden on households. Active transport modes - walking and cycling - could help to solve these problems. They are green, cheap and an obvious way for many people to get their daily exercise.<br /> " </p>
