Cycle Action Plan

Countless studies in London have revealed that, over short distances at least, the pedal cycle in all its forms is capable of being the fastest, most inexpensive, most reliable and most beneficial form of wheeled transport.

The pedal cycle is eminently suitable for local trips, a third of which are under a mile long, and 85% of which are less than five miles in length. Cycling, together with other measures such as travel plans, traffic restraint and initiatives to encourage more walking are crucial to reducing congestion, improving the environment and promoting social inclusion and better health.

London is becoming a cycling city. Following the introduction of the Congestion Charge in 2003, the number of people cycling into the charging zone has increased by a third or more, depending on counting regimes. The business community now recognises that, when compared with cars, taxis and public transport, the pedal cycle provides the most reliable and stress-free form of commuter transport.

The benefits of encouraging more cycling are clear:

• Health
• Improved air quality
• Social Inclusion
• Economic Benefits
• Transport
• Environment
• Crime reduction
• Safety in numbers
• Value for Money.
