Bowness-Ambleside Cycle Route
Sign Now
I wish to express my strong support for the Bowness to Ambleside cycle route, and on developing proper cycle routes within both towns, and call on my county councillor and all relevant public representatives to actively support this route.
The development of this route is vital for many reasons:
1. Every cyclist on the road is one less car, reducing congestion which regularly clogs up the Lake District and costs the UK economy some 20 billion each year.
2. Cycling produces no pollution and helps us to combat global warming.
3. Cycling is an active pastime and helps to tackle rising levels of obesity, especially in the young.
4. Cycling promotes healthy lifestyles and good health. The average cyclist has a fitness level equal to that of someone 10 years younger.
5. Cycle lanes make cyclists safer on the road. Thousands of cyclists are injured every year on the UKs roads.
6. Proper cycle lanes attract visitors and cycle tourism and helps boost the local economy in a sustainable and responsible manner.
Cycling has many benefits, but these can only be realised if we have a safe, convenient and enjoyable cycling environment.

I hope that our elected reps show common sense and support cycling and the development of proper cycling routes as a matter of urgency. We need responsible leadership.
