Sustainable transport is hardly the sexiest muse in the world but Sustrans, the charity behind the National Cycle Network, wants it to be the inspiration for thousands of artists across Britain.
Set up in 1977 by a few Bristolians who wanted somewhere to walk without having to dodge the escalating traffic around their city, Sustrans is about getting us lazy couch potatoes off our fat botties, leaving the car at home, and conveying ourselves from A to B by walking or riding “on yer bike”, to paraphrase Norman Tebbitt, MP.
