Some of Exeter’s most cycle friendly employers met with Sadiq Khan, the Minister of State for Transport, during a visit from the Cabinet to Exeter on Friday.

The Minister requested to spend his time in Exeter finding out more about Exeter’s Cycling Demonstration Town project, which has seen a 40% increase in cycling since the project began in 2005. During his time with the Cycle Exeter project, which included a tour on bikes around the city, he met with representatives from Devon & Cornwall Constabulary, the University of Exeter and Exeter College. Each of these organisations have demonstrated huge progress and success in the promotion and support of cycling, which the Minister was keen to find out about.
