Leader David Cameron is a keen cyclist – though he sparked some controversy when it transpired his cycle to work was accompanied by a car/broomwagon which transported his briefcase. 

But what do the conservatives promise in their manifesto?

“We want to double the number of journeys make by bicycle and will invest over £200 million to make cycling safer, so we reduce the number of cyclists killed or injured on our roads every year.”

It’s not stated over what time period the money will be spent. Comparatively, the party would spend 15 billion on the roads 500 million ensuring cars and vans are zero emissions vehicles by 2050.
