Campaign launched to get women on two wheels

A campaign is underway to encourage more women to leave the car behind in favour of a more traditional method of transport.

Figures show only one in four bike journeys in the UK is made by women - compared to Holland where more than half of women use a bicycle every day.

Experts have now been looking into why so few women take to two wheels - with issues with safety being among the top concerns.

Matt Price has been to Holland to see how female commuters here might take inspiration from overseas.
