    The Department for Transport has released its long-awaited active-travel strategy. Known by transport wonks as Cee-Whizz, the Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy, or CWIS, has very little whizz about it. The strategy merely repeats the existing pledge to spend £300m over five years. This amounts to just £1.39 per head, far short of the £10 per head demanded by the parliamentary Get Britain Cycling report of 2013.

    "This amounts to just £1.39 per head"

    I guess the whole thing hinges on whether we can get the same results with £1.39 that the Netherlands gets with £24.

    I'll be honest, I'm not optimistic.

    Some of the research and case studies might be useful.
