A RECORD number of cyclists have taken advantage of the good summer weather and got on their bikes.
Between May and July almost 120,000 trips were made on the Bradford to Leeds Cycle Superhighway, which at 14km is the longest route of its kind in the UK.
It is an overall increase of 26 per cent on last year.
More than 10,000 journeys were made on the Stanningley Road section during July - the best month since it opened.
Cllr Kim Groves, Chair of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority Transport Committee, said: "Since opening in July 2016 the Superhighway has been used for more than 700,000 cycle trips, opening up walking and cycling routes to some of our most disadvantaged communities and connecting people with opportunities for work, training and leisure."
