The British government is supporting the creation of bicycle and hiking paths throughout the UK. Recently the Mayor Jeff Dutton of Oxmoor, Huntingdon urged locals to step out of the car and get on their bike when traveling into the town centre.

Said Mayor Dutton: "I would urge all residents to use the new cycle path (next to Conygear Park; see drawing of park, right). It is a quick and safe route to the town. I think when people see it there they will use it. At the moment the streets are very congested and very busy near the park... The cycle route will take away the risk of accidents for cyclists and will protect young lives especially."

Huntingdonshire is located North of London, England near Cambridge. The region was home to Olivier Cromwell and Queen Katherine of Aragon.
