It's now faster to cycle than drive in some city centres as Britain’s roads become increasingly gridlocked, a report has found.

London and Edinburgh are the two most congested cities in the UK, with drivers clocking up average speeds of only 7mph during the final mile of their journeys, the global traffic audit has revealed.

It concluded that it has become ‘faster to ride a bike than drive or take the bus’ for millions of motorists in Britain.

It found that last year drivers in six UK cities – London, Edinburgh, Bristol, Liverpool, Manchester and Sheffield – crawled along at an average speed of 10mph or less in the last mile of their journey.

The average cyclist in cities travels at 9.6mph, according to traffic analysts Inrix, which conducted the study.

Central London is pretty flat, so it's easy to cycle round. It's a bit
more aerobic when you get to say Highgate Hill, a few miles from the
centre.
