For a portion of my life I lived in a quite hilly part of the UK. Most people didn't bother cycling. I don't blame them, it was a lot of effort.
What people in hilly areas need are lightweight, affordable high quality bicycles that have some sort of electric propulsion system. The best I've seen is cytronex.
So what do you think? Would offering up these sorts of bikes at knock down prices to the masses of people living in hilly regions cause a huge uptake in cycling in the UK?
It would mean hundreds of thousands fewer car journeys, less co2 pumped into the atmosphere and a healthier population all round. Yes electric bikes might not suit hard core cyclists but I think money invested in a strategy, if done properly, would be money well spent.
So basically a cycling policy based on frequency of hills.
