Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to support people earning less than £17,000 a year to own bikes.

The Government agrees that everyone who wishes to cycle should be able to afford to do so. The Government is aware that people on low incomes are currently unable to access the Cycle to Work scheme, and will consider other options for making cycling more affordable as it develops its future plans for active travel.
