How can we get more people on their bikes?
Cycling is healthy, cheap - and as modes of transport go, they don\u2019t come much greener. \n \nWorldwide, transport is responsible for nearly a quarter of all carbon emissions, with road transport alone accounting for 75% of that. But so far, most discussions on greening the transport sector have focussed on electrifying our cars, trucks and buses \u2013 overlooking the vital role that bicycles could play in the climate transition. In fact, experts say that we\u2019re unlikely to meet our short-term climate goals without more people getting on their bikes. So what needs to change to make that happen? \n \nWe look at what\u2019s been done on streets of Bogota, New York and Kampala to get more people cycling across the world. \n \nPresenters Kate Lamble and Neal Razzell are joined by: \nJanette Sadik-Khan, former Transport Commissioner of New York City \nHenk Swarttouw, President of the European Cyclists Federation and World Cycling Alliance \nAmanda Ngabirano, Lecturer in Urban Mobility at Makerere University, Kampala \nJaime Ortiz Mari\xf1o, architect and organiser of the first ciclov\xeda event in Bogot\xe1 \n \nProducer: Zoe Gelber \nReporter: Laura Ubate in Bogot\xe1 \nResearchers: Immie Rhodes and Louise Parry \nSeries Producer: Alex Lewis \nEditor: Richard Fenton-Smith \nSound Mix: Tom Brignell
