Abstract

This paper aims to evaluate the experience of one of the major projects implemented in the late 1990s under the former Department of Transport's Cycle Challenge project, announced in 1995. After some discussion of the Cycle Challenge project in general, and the wide scope of projects it supported, the main part of the paper focuses on the Nottingham Cycle-Friendly Employers' project, implemented between 1996 and 1998. It discusses its aims and implementation, the broadly positive lessons arising from this experience as well as the lessons arising from this project and their relevance for wider cycling and transport policy.
