Our objectives are bold and clear: – Giving everyone in the region the opportunity to access a bike and the training to use it – Delivering a Yorkshire cycle hire network, so that even if you don’t have a bike, you can borrow one – Making sure there a lots of cycling events for people to get involved in – Supporting organisations and schools to have their own travel plan – And, increase Local Authority and partnership support to communities to promote cycling
