In this article, data from the NCN route usage monitoring project is analyzed to examine implications of the NCN for health, social inclusion, economic opportunities through tourism and recreation, and the nature of cyclists and cycling. Analysis of survey data suggests that various benefits are being realized. The capacity of NCN to further impact in these and other areas is discussed.
