Mr. Hugh Creegan:

There was a query about the electric bikes. Our transport model includes a facility to model the propensity of people to use cycling more, including the use of electric bikes. That tool is available and we have used it. On it being part of the answer to plug the gap, it undoubtedly is but we are finding we need to move the longer distance trips to non-combustion engine powered trips, whether public transport or electric. The demand management scheme that we have to prepare will have to tackle that and propose measures that push that changeover more strongly than is the case without it.
