The government is expected to fall short of its aim to increase cycling from 800 million trips in 2013 to 1.6 billion in 2025.
The last National Travel Survey statistics indicate that there were only 991 million by the end of 2017, which, if that trajectory was to continue, would mean that the government will only achieve around 1.27 billion trips by 2025.
The Times has reported that the government is attempting to push the blame onto local authorities, suggesting they were not investing enough on measures like dedicated cycle lanes.
A Department for Transport spokesperson is quoted as saying: “As we made clear in our Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy, we want to make cycling and walking the natural choice for short journeys. This is why we’re investing around £2 billion on active travel over the course of this Parliament [the five years to May 2022] - doubling spending per head compared to the last Spending Review period - to increase the number of journeys taken by bike or on foot, improve air quality, tackle congestion and reduce obesity.”
