According to Transport for London (TfL) the number of Londoners cycling is almost 25% higher than pre-pandemic levels – 14% higher on weekdays and an astonishing 82% higher at weekends – reports the Evening Standard.
London’s cycle network has grown markedly in the last six years but TfL says more needs to be done to reach the target of 1.3m bike trips a day by 2024. Latest additions include a protected lane at Hammersmith roundabout and the completion of Cycleway 9 through Chiswick.
TfL plans to relaunch its cycling strategy to encourage more Londoners to switch to a “car lite” lifestyle with extra effort made to encourage more women and black and ethnic minority Londoners to cycle.
