The National Cycle Network (NCN) is the national cycling route network of the United Kingdom, which was established to encourage cycling throughout Britain, as well as for the purposes of bicycle touring. It was created by the charity Sustrans who were aided by a £42.5 million National Lottery grant. In 2005 it was used for over 230 million trips. Little of the NCN is on dedicated bike paths. Though many routes try to minimise contact with motor traffic, 70% of them are on roads. The NCN uses pedestrian routes, disused railways, minor roads, canal towpaths and traffic-calmed routes in towns and cities. == History== The opening of the Bristol and Bath Railway Path (now part of National Route 4) in 1984, a 15-mile cycleway following a railway no longer in use, was the first part of the NCN. The original goal was to create of signed cycle routes by 2005,〔 with 50% of these not being on roads, and all of it being "suitable for an unsupervised twelve year old." By mid-2000, of route was signposted to an "interim" standard, and a new goal was then set to double that to by 2005. August 2005 saw the completion of that goal. , there were of signed cycle route to NCN standards.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sustrans.org.uk/ncn/map/national-cycle-network/about )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Cycle Network」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
