The first 10,000 miles of safe and attractive cycling and walking routes has been completed bringing the Network to within 1 mile of 50% of the population.

Sustrans, the UK's leading sustainable transport charity and the charity behind the National Cycle Network, works on projects to encourage people to walk, cycle and use public transport to benefit health and the environment.
