Darlington is one of three places in Britain chosen as a pilot scheme to encourage people to use alternative forms of transport... and it seems that women are more reluctant than men to get out of their cars and hop onto a bike.

Jenni is joined by Owen Wilson, Project director, Darlington Local Motion Campaign and by Yvonne McGregor, former World Champion Cyclist and Olympic bronze medal winner in Sydney 2000.
