"plantedcity:  Infographic: 'The British Cycling Economy' ""Cycling in the UK has undergone a renaissance over the past five years, with an increasing number of people taking to the streets of the UK by bike. Structural, economic, social and health factors have caused a 'shift in the sand' in the UK, spurring an expansion in the cycling market with indications that this will be a longer-term trend. This growth in cycling participation has had the knock-on effect of bringing economic and social benefits to the UK. In 2010 the result was a gross cycling contribution to the UK economy of £2.9bn.""  ~ Dr Alexander Grous, productivity and innovation specialist at the London School of Economics and lead author of the new report, 'The British Cycling Economy: Gross Cycling Product'.
