Related in two ways to that link, I read this in the paper today: "Cycling England says a 20% increase in bicycle journeys would lower healthcare costs and reduce congestion. It adds that by making a £70m annual investment in cycling initiatives the government could cut up to 54m car journeys a year by 2012 and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 35,000 tonnes. The report says that an adult who swaps a car for a bicycle on a return journey of 2.5 miles - the average cycle trip - will generate annual savings of £137.28 through reduced congestion. A regular cyclist saves the NHS £28.30 a year." http://www.guardian.co.uk/transport/Story/0,,2170848,00.html Anyway I looked on the Cycling England website to see if I could find the actual report and lo and behold I couldn't. The press office section seems to have been last updated in June. Likewise I can't find the LSHTM report. It's pretty annoying that you still have to get this filtered through a journalist when the internet makes its easy dissemination possible. And when it is available online it would be nice if the papers actually linked to it, which they never seem to do.
