• Transport for London Draft Cycle safety action plan
  Transport for London, October 2009
  A cycling revolution is underway in London. Cycling journeys in London have doubled in recent years and the Mayor‟s ambition is to see further growth in cycling in future. Cycle Superhighways, the Central London cycle hire scheme, and potential outer London cycle hubs, will all help to make this a reality.
  Many Londoners are enjoying the health benefits of the opportunity to travel quickly and cheaply around the city by bike. There are also wider benefits of increased cycling - reducing congestion and helping cut CO2 emissions.
  The Mayor wants to transform London into a cycling city but this must be supported by new safety initiatives to ensure that casualty rates do not rise as a consequence.
