Manx Cycling backs work commute strategy
The Manx Cycling Association has given 'full support' to a government plan aiming to encourage a more active commute.
Chairman Richard Fletcher has welcomed the Active Travel Strategy, which was unanimously approved in Tynwald last week.
Easing traffic congestion and lowering environmental pollution are the aims of the plan, but Mr Fletcher stressed health was a key factor.
He believes as a nation, the Isle of Man has fallen behind other European countries when it comes to taking up exercise:
Golf course fire was organised burn that became 'uncontrolled'
Jail for man who stole nearly £70k from Western Civic Amenity Site
"Halfway Horse Tram" not the only problem on the prom, says council leader
Emergency services tackle fire at Peel Golf Course
Report calls for Visit Isle of Man to be established as a statutory tourism board
