Scotland is the only area, that I am aware of, that has done an economic evaluation of the benefits of cycle tourism.
Whilst this is primarily to encourage cycle tourism, presumably there is some benefit to local residents also. Thinking of those who live within cycling distance of a station, but too far to walk.
Could make train and cycle more attractive for travel to work, rather than driving.
Elsewhere in these forums I referred to a proposal to convert some class 455
DC▸ EMUs▸ to battery power for use on West Country branch lines. Part of the proposal was to convert part of one vehicle to 2+0 seating to accommodate bulky luggage, baby carriages, AND CYCLES.
