I thank the Minister for all the work he is doing across the country. I wish him well with it. I ask the Minister to remember the safe routes to schools programme. The more people we can get cycling at primary and secondary school level and the more people who are getting comfortable with cycling and using that new infrastructure that is being introduced, the better. If they start cycling and continue cycling they are much more likely to keep it up into adult life. If they are getting lifts to school the whole time they are much less likely to cycle at a later stage.
