Olympic legacy? Invest in world-class cycling infrastructure

At 12 noon, the Radio 4’s You and Yours consumer programme will be asking listeners what would be the best legacies to provide for a post-Olympics future.

A few days ago Channel 4 news anchor Jon Snow tweeted his opinion on this same topic:

"Maybe the way to honour Team GB’s Olympic cycling prowess is to start right now investing in UK cycling infrastructure."

The You and Yours production team asked:

"How do we ensure a LASTING Olympic legacy?"

If you feel that cycling infrastructure – built to Dutch-standards – could be that legacy, let the programme know.

Call 03700 100444, leave a message on www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/youandyours; text 84844. Or tweet @BBCRadio4 during the programme, using the hashtag #youandyours.

And here’s Jon Snow, on a rainy day, cycling to and from a meeting, and demonstrating London’s woeful provision for cyclists:
