With an increase in cycling, what would encourage people to stay in the saddle?

On the phone-in: With an increase in cycling over the past year, what would encourage people to stay in the saddle? Also, talking about bothies, boys education and Spotify tips.

PHONE IN: CYCLING
Statistics released today by Cycling Scotland show 47% more cycling journeys were recorded between 23 March 2020 and 22 March 2021 compared to the same period 2019–2020. Cycling Scotland Chief Executive Keith Irving said: “To get even more people cycling, we need to invest more in infrastructure so people feel safe to cycle. We need more dedicated cycle lanes, separated from vehicles and pedestrians. We need to reduce traffic, especially on residential and shopping streets. And we need to increase access to bikes and storage to tackle the barriers too many people face so anyone, anywhere can enjoy all the benefits of cycling.“
