Yes but we need to be properly planning the active travel infrastructure. We can look at all the behavioural things that we like but the actual hard infrastructure has to be there, particularly when we are talking about children, whether at primary or secondary. We can lecture to people all we want about how 14-year old children should not be in a car going to school but if there is no safe, segregated cycling track, parents are not going to let them out on their bikes.
