Chris Boardman is an exceptional ambassador for active travel. Charged by Manchester to transform the city into one of the greenest in Europe, Boardman is helping to plan and build a huge network of connected cycleways, but it’s when when he presents the case for active travel to the unconverted that he impresses the most.
On Question Time this week Boardman answered a query about NHS funding by highlighting the need to improve public health through active lifestyles – as usual, he spoke with his trademark common sense.
