QUOTE:
More people are cycling in London than ever before, new figures from Transport for London (TfL) have shown.

The statistics also said 432 cyclists were seriously injured or killed on the roads in 2014 - the lowest level since records began.

The total number of cycling journeys rose by 5% to 610,000 a day - 23 million a year, TfL said.

"Almost 40 per cent of the 28 million journeys made each day in the
capital last year were made by car, while 37 per cent were made either
by bus, Tube, train or tram. The rest were by foot or bicycle.

The report, published by Transport for London, shows that the car's
popularity is followed by walking (20 per cent), buses and trams (19 per
cent), the Tube (10 per cent), rail (eight per cent) and bicycles (two
per cent)."

So cyclists are still a tiny insignificant minority.
