@techreport { , title = {Summary of outcomes of the cycling demonstration towns and Cycling City and Towns Programmes}, abstract = {The Cycling Demonstration Towns (CDT) programme ran from October 2005 to March 2011, and involved six medium-sized towns, with populations of between 65,000 and 245,000 people. The partly concurrent Cycling City and Towns (CCT) programme ran from July 2008 to March 2011. It involved one substantially larger city (Greater Bristol), one significantly smaller town (Leighton Linslade) and a further ten towns of medium size, with populations ranging from 75,000 to 240,000. Overall, we conclude that there is good evidence that the number of cycling trips has increased to varying degrees across the CDT and CCT programmes. Insufficient robust data is available to address the question of whether this increase is attributable to the investment programme, or simply reflects wider trends. Based on available evidence, we suggest that these programmes may have delivered greater uplift in cycling than would have happened without the investment, although we cannot say definitively that this is the case.}, publicationstatus = {Published}, url = {https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/885758}, keyword = {Centre for Transport and Society, cycling, investment, evaluation}, year = {2017}, author = {Sloman, Lynn and Cope, Andrew and Kennedy, Angela and Crawford, Fiona and Cavill, Nicholas and Parkin, John} }
