Some of you may recall that Cycling England was formed in March 2005 with the aim: "more people cycling, more safely more often" with a £15m budget over three years.
You may note that £250,000 is spent on cycle training through the Bike It! project. A further £175,000 is spent on instructor training. Most of the £1m given to six cycle demonstration towns probably goes on cycle training projects.
The remainder, £3.822m, is spent on marketing, administration, monitoring and cycle facilities.
And they charge children who have successfully passed a National Standard training course £2.50 for a badge and certificate.

I'm not sure that is a particularly good guess for the disposal of the £1m for demonstration towns. The Cycling England website has bits of info for each of the them, and maps and brochures and facilities (including cycle storage) get mentioned quite a bit. Of course that could all be funded from outside the Cycling England money but I doubt it.

Cycling demonstration towns received £1.8m for capital projects. The £1m is for paper pushers (I think) and instructors (I hope).
