At Halfords, we’re passionate about supporting active and sustainable travel for young people. That’s why we’ve partnered with Sustrans to launch the Children’s Walking and Cycling Index 2024—a comprehensive report that explores how children across the UK experience walking, cycling, and wheeling in their communities.

This important research provides valuable insights into the benefits of active travel, the challenges children face, and what can be done to create safer, more accessible journeys for the next generation.

Explore the key findings below and discover how we can all help make walking and cycling a bigger part of children’s daily lives.
