London launches new Cycling Action Plan in push for greater diversity New targets announced for growth in trips made by bike and access to Cycleway network cycling
Transport for London has launched a new Cycling Action Plan with the aim of increasing the number of journeys made in the capital by bike by a third by the end of the decade, with encouraging people from groups that are currently under-represented among the city’s cyclists set to underpin that growth.
It seems that a large part of the development of the network in the coming years will be focused on Outer London, with TfL saying that its refreshed Strategic Cycling Analysis shows that there is greater potential to increase cycling within the outlying boroughs. Will Norman, London’s Walking and Cycling Commissioner, said: “Our new Cycling Action Plan sets out our commitment to further boost the numbers of cyclists across our city and increase participation from London’s diverse communities.
“We’ve made significant progress with cycling in recent years and we recognise that we need to go even further. This plan sets out significant new targets to ensure that cycling is a realistic choice for all Londoners. “The guidance sets out principles of inclusivity in design to make sure shared paths are properly accessible to everyone, including disabled people, older people, pregnant women and children,” TfL said.
