Active and safe travel

"Cycling to work reduces the relative risk of mortality by almost 40 per cent through reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, obesity and general health improvement, and results in lower absenteeism (Hendrikson et al 2010)."

"Greater vehicle use causes higher levels of air pollution, which may increase cardiovascular and respiratory conditions, and contributes to global climate change."
