    Adult cycle training pays off in Sheffield, isn't it time more councils should be investing in adult cycling training?

    At a time when money saving is on the agenda there is a few figures which I would like to point out to any dealing with public money:

    "In cash terms, that puts the cost of training the 1,000 users of the scheme at £45,000 - the metre of highway figure," says David Bocking, one of Pedal Ready's organisers. "The benefit is reckoned as just over £300,000 in savings on health spending, traffic congestion and pollution."

    Sometimes to save you have to spend more carefully.
