• £15m for cycling to school – Guardian
  The Guardian puts it in context:

  Today, perhaps prompted by a massive increase in cycling in the capital – up 50% in five years – the government has announced an additional £15m for cycling provision, most of it to be spent on proficiency teaching for schoolkids, the rest going on better cycle lane access to schools.

  The new transport secretary, Douglas Alexander, says he hopes it will reverse the “back of the car” generation.

  There’s a long way to go.

  To put it in context, the city of Amsterdam alone will be spending 100m euros on cycling provision in the next five years.
