Cycling England

Some of you may recall that Cycling England was formed in March 2005
with the aim: "more people cycling, more safely more often" with a
£15m budget over three years.

This is how it spent the first £5.247m.

You may note that £250,000 is spent on cycle training through the Bike
It! project. A further £175,000 is spent on instructor training. Most
of the £1m given to six cycle demonstration towns probably goes on
cycle training projects.

The remainder, £3.822m, is spent on marketing, administration,
monitoring and cycle facilities.

And they charge children who have successfully passed a National
Standard training course £2.50 for a badge and certificate.

I'm not sure that is a particularly good guess for the disposal of the
£1m for demonstration towns. The Cycling England website has bits of
info for each of the them, and maps and brochures and facilities
(including cycle storage) get mentioned quite a bit. Of course that
could all be funded from outside the Cycling England money but I doubt it.

Cycling demonstration towns received £1.8m for capital projects. The
£1m is for paper pushers (I think) and instructors (I hope).
