Abstract
This Editorial summarises and comments on the five papers in the themed issue on longer distance cycling. In relation to infrastructure, there are contentions which emerge in relation to either the need to simply join together already existing shorter routes, or whether there is a need to provide longer distances routes akin to primary routes for motor traffic. Leaning towards the latter approach, the processes required in planning and design and implementation are considered. In a different dimension, consideration is also given to the design requirements for the cycle as a vehicle required for longer distance travel. The benefits of longer distance cycling, especially for older people are also explored.
