finest Newsround this Monday afternoon! On the way: Government | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
splash the cash to get more of us on our bikes! And Norway's Prime | :00:12. | :00:22. | |
:00:22. | :00:24. | ||
Minister turned taxi driver! This is Newsround. | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
First up - from Olympic gold medals to Tour de France winners, Britain's | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
cyclists are some of the best in the world. But are the state of cycle | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
lanes stopping you from following in their footsteps? Well, that could be | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
about to change as the Government plans to pump big money into getting | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
more of us out on two wheels. Racing towards history, Sir Chris Hoy, | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
Laura Trott, Sir Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froome are just some of the | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
inspirational faces behind Britain's cycling success story. But if their | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
achievements have inspired you to get out on your bike, how easy is | :00:53. | :01:03. | |
:01:03. | :01:04. | ||
it? I don't like the potholes on some of the roads and the drivers. | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
You cannot relax on your bike because you have got to be avoiding | :01:09. | :01:16. | |
everything and braking. Well, Prime Minister David Cameron wants to make | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
it easier and says �94 million will be spent on improving cycle routes | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
in England. We had tremendous success during the Olympics and I | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
want to turn that into grassroots cycling. 77 million pounds will be | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
split between eight cycling cities - Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
Newcastle, Bristol, Cambridge, Oxford and Norwich. Another 17 | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
million will be spent on improving routes at four national parks. There | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
will be brand new cycle paths, improvements to existing routes and | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
new 20 mph speed limit zones. In 2012, only 2% of journeys in Britain | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
were made by bike. And this year a study ranked the UK the 10th most | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
cycle-friendly country in Europe - way behind the likes of Denmark, the | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
Netherlands and Germany. They probably started a lot earlier than | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
we did so I think in terms of what is happening today, it is a great | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
step forward. It is just a small step, we definitely want to see more | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
investment in cycling going forward. But the Government hopes this | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
investment will kick-start a cycling revolution, and encourage more of us | :02:18. | :02:25. | |
to turn to pedal power! Next, to concerns over | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
cyber-bullying. The charity NSPCC says almost one in five of you have | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
had a bad experience on social networking sites. The survey of just | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
over a thousand children suggests most of the negative experiences are | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
because of bullying, trolling and kids feeling under pressure to look | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
a certain way. They also found that children were signing up to sites | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
like Facebook before they were old enough. | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
Now, the moment you've all been waiting for! The Office for National | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
Statistics has released the list of most baby popular baby names in | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
England and Wales for last year. For the second year running, Harry is | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
the most popular boy's name and Amelia is the most popular name for | :03:00. | :03:08. | |
girls. Meanwhile Riley, Mia and Isla are newcomers in their top tens. But | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
here at Newsround we wouldn't be too surprised if a certain Prince George | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
has a big impact on the 2013 chart when it's announced. | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
On the website we've been asking about your name. Do you like it? Or | :03:20. | :03:30. | |
:03:30. | :03:48. | ||
would you like to change it to a taxi and finding the driver was | :03:48. | :03:56. | |
none other than the Prime Minister. As yet there's no sign of Mr Cameron | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
getting behind the wheel of a London black cab, but for the people of | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
Norway their PM had a surprise in store. Here's Nel. Running the | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
country, meeting world leaders and making decisions that affect | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
millions of people. Just another day in the life of Norway's Prime | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
Minister, Jens Stoltenberg. But the PM took time out from his busy day | :04:13. | :04:23. | |
job for a stint as a taxi driver in the country's capital Oslo. To keep | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
his identity secret, he wore sunglasses and a taxi driver's | :04:27. | :04:37. | |
:04:37. | :04:38. | ||
uniform, not that many people were fooled. When I see you from behind, | :04:38. | :04:48. | |
:04:48. | :04:49. | ||
you look a lot like Jens Stoltenberg. The taxi-driving stunt | :04:49. | :04:52. |
