More than six million UK adults plan to ditch their cars in the next five years, a new report finds But how easy will it be for them to do so? 🔎 BawdenTom reports
But while millions of people may intend to sell their cars in the coming years, how feasible is it really for such large numbers to switch to alternatives, such as walking, cycling and e-biking and buses, coaches and trains?
In many cases they are using public transport instead – although nearly 4 million are now cycling or e-biking to work, according to the report, from Swytch Techology, a maker of kit to convert regular bikes to e-bikes. This involved a survey of 2,074 British adults conducted by the Yonder research group.
Meanwhile, e-bike sales have tripled in three years and cycling is up 11 per cent on pre-pandemic levels – although it has fallen from pandemic heights. But he points out that the UK needs to reduce its car use significantly if it is to have any change of meeting its 2030 climate targets and longer term pledge to become net zero.
