Health Value of cycling in Greater Manchester
• World Health Organization Health Economic Assessment Tool (HEAT) for cycling used to calculate the value of additional cycling
• This calculates the reduction in risk of mortality among people who are cycling, compared to those who are not cycling
• Calculates the reduced death rate among the new regular cyclists
• Places financial value on the lives saved, using statistical value of a life
• Approved approach used by DfT

Data
• Taken from GM Travel Diary Survey (TRADS) • 38,230 cyclists made 103,223 trips by bike on the
day before the survey • Cycle trips 3km on average (from postcode)• 2.7 trips per cyclist per day • Assumed cyclists ride on average 124 days per
year (the default recommended by HEAT) • 335 trips per cyclist per year

Scenario

Results: lives saved
• This level of cycling (3km per day for 124 days per year) reduces mortality by 8%
• Applied to 152,920 cyclists making 412,893 trips, 124 days per year
• Normally expect 380 people to die per year (UK; aged 20-60)
• This increase in cycling results in 24 lives saved per year (comparing cycling population with normal death rate)

Results: economic value
• Value of life of £3.229m (OECD standard) • Value of annual benefit (discounted at 5%) £54m
• BUT this is ONLY mortality; full health benefits would be far higher
• Can be used in a benefit:cost ratio
