  key strategy to reduce GHG emissions is the replacement of vehicle trips 
 by people-powered transportation, which also improves health and revitali
 zes local economies. A cross Canada study explored the most effective ways
  to promote this transition, with a focus on cycling. Our research uncove
 red the diverse factors which can promote uptake, persistence and longer 
 distance cycling. Different theories provide insights into how these facto
 rs fit together to enable change. Individuals, institutions, community g
 roups and all levels of government each need to play a role in moving us t
 owards a more sustainable, healthy and climate friendly way to get around
