Our theory is that every journey covers continuous links from a Doorstep to Destination Active Travel Journey.

Doorstep to Destination is based around a typical journey to school. A child’s destination is school but families complete an onward journey by bike, repeating short journeys to school will give families the confidence to create new active travel habits.

The details of desired routes to school and beyond are analysed from a community-led study, backed up with a political authority that will implement temporary and permanent improvements to the local cycling community and infrastructure.

We are working towards establishing a community that makes the choice to leave a car behind and use cycling and walking as their preferred method.

Four aims:

1. Increase the number of households and pupils confidently cycling to school and beyond.
2. Create highly effective (temporary to permanent) Doorstep to Destination infrastructure.
3. Create highly desirable opportunities for communities to connect LTNs to School Streets and beyond. 
4. Evaluate, model and adapt to continuously improve and innovate.

Motivate, Inspire and Support!

Our mission is to help 14 million more people choose cycling for journeys under two miles. We NEED your help to ensure there are more bike trips than car trips to your local shops, schools, village, town and city centres.

We were once a nation that travelled by horse and by boat. Somewhere along the line, we all started driving, mostly because it was convenient, warm and easy. However, now it is more convenient to travel by bike! We just need to inspire and support everyone to find it easy and, sorry, not a great deal we can do about the weather!

If you can ride a bike for 2 miles, it quickly grows to 3, 4, 5 and more! Plus your adventure will truly start when you find parks and green places to explore. We passionately love the more extreme side of bike riding too, let us know if you love to jump!

If you are a group, club, family or an individual who would like to help inspire more people to join in with the joys of cycling we want to hear from you.  Please get in touch via the contact us page and we can help you, help more folk like us to ride bikes every day.
