Testimonial

“I work as a GP and spend much of my day encouraging my patients to integrate activity into their commute including considering riding to work if possible.

Congratulations on moving ahead with the cycleways, I use cycleways wherever possible. I appreciate efforts of the council to make the city more cycling friendly. I now combine commuting with exercise, which is perfect for a busy mother. I look forward to even more improvements.”

- Dr Caroline West,  age  48 years, is a GP and mother of two children aged 10 and 13 years.
