In 2005, 6 towns in England were chosen to be cycling demonstration towns to promote the use of cycling as a means of transport.
The decision was made by Cycling England, a body set up by the Department for Transport.
At this time, the term 'Cycle Demonstration Town' was changed to 'Cycling Town', reflecting that the initiative had moved from a pilot stage into full operation.
[1] The programme ended in 2011 when Cycling England was disbanded.
