Cycling demonstration town

Cycling demonstration town

In 2005, six English towns were chosen to be cycling demonstration towns to promote the use of cycling as a means of transport.

The decision was made by Cycling England, a body set up by the Department for Transport. Each year for three years the towns will receive £500,000 to spend on cycling (apart from Aylesbury which will receive £300,000).

The six cycling demonstration towns are:
* Aylesbury
* Brighton
* Darlington
* Derby
* Exeter
* Lancaster
