"I signed up in the first week and quickly found others within a five mile radius of home. It wasn't long before there were four of us sharing. This is very convenient for me as there is less stress in not having to drive every day, and the financial savings are amazing. I am saving in excess of £1200 a year!" Peter, 2003.

Extract from Social MarketingStrategy for Cycling, by Dr IanWalker, University of Bath

MARKETING IS NOT JUST ADVERTISING

Favourite of a minority, a bit 'techy. 'Not forceful or sharp'

Marketing Model1. Short term awareness of immediate journey

options - “is the car best for this journey”

2. Medium term consideration of alternative

modes of transport - “is the bus really that

bad”

3.Long term lifestyle choices - “do I really want

to be dependent on a car for ever”
