Default Cycles could outnumber cars in London's AM peak by 2019

QUOTE:

"In 2000 the proportion of cars to bicycles entering central London in the morning peak was 11:1; in 2014 it was 2:1. If the trend continues cycles entering London in the morning will outnumber cars by 2019

In Zone 1 in the morning rush hour 32 per cent of all vehicles on the roads are bicycles; on some roads it's 70 per cent

In 2015/16 London has spent roughly £18 per head on cycling - on a par with Germany and the Netherlands

Cycle casualty rates (KSIs) are the lowest ever recorded, while cycling deaths in 2015 (9) were the second lowest on record, and the lowest per journey on record."
