The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) has issued a response to the publication of a growing number of cyclist injuries on the UK's roads from the Department for Transport.

According to the data, overall road deaths fell by eight per cent in 2012, but the number of cyclists killed or injured in accidents rose by ten per cent over the year.

As a result, RoSPA is calling for a concerted campaign to raise awareness of the vulnerability of cyclists, while also boosting the provision of cyclist training to ensure all those who take to the road on two wheels are safe to do so.

Kevin Clinton, head of road safety at RoSPA, commented: "It is vital to create a coherent safe network for cyclists by introducing appropriate cycle lanes, linking quieter streets, developing routes alongside rivers, canals and through parks where possible and introducing more 20 mph schemes."
