Today is #WorldCarFreeDay. While we know it's not possible for everyone to give up driving completely, many of us could choose to cycle or walk more often. Cycling is a cheap, sustainable, healthy, fun way to get around - plus it frees up road space for those who need to drive.

Media request! Can you help?
We're working with a national outlet on a story about why the UK roads are in such poor condition. If you have been affected by road defects and would be happy to share your experience, please email publicity@cyclinguk.org
