Project summary

This research project aimed to give a clearer picture of cycling safety by looking at risk per kilometre travelled rather than just injury numbers. It compared route environmental characteristics of sites where cyclists were injured with ‘control’ sites along their routes prior to injury.

The project delivered a research report and a stakeholder report and training on how to develop policy and practice based on the results.

The aim of the project was to enable enforcement and planning agencies to identify high-risk routes, even if injuries are currently low. This will enable authorities to quantify impacts of infrastructural and policy changes on route-level cycling risk and injuries, taking into account changes in motor vehicle and cycling flows, including ‘safety in numbers’ effects.

Spot On Creative is a Northants-based creative team who have the hard-earned skills, expertise and industry knowledge that only come from having worked for years in advertising. It’s all managed by Lynne Dickens who has over 20 years’ experience in marketing communications, and ten years in website design and build, and creative team project management.

Lynne is also a qualified art historian and has some expertise in curating fine art exhibitions and producing all of the catalogues, posters and supporting material to create a successful event.

All the guys in our team have worked for one-man bands, SMEs and large blue-chip multinationals in just about every sector, field and industry. We can come up with great ideas, superb design and copy, and exceptional photography for anything from websites to email campaigns, branding to brochures – and everything in between.

And the beauty of Spot On Creative is that we’re big in creativity, experience and knowledge, but small in overheads and invoices. So we’re a much more sensible and affordable option for you than a larger advertising agency or marketing company.
