Big increases in London commuting

[mikesbytes]

Clearly London is doing something right, they are now reporting that 25% of road users are bicycles

From the 4 photos in the gallery, I notice two things;
1. Only one rider without a helmet
2. Not that many female riders

3. Even the bus taking up all that space is mostly empty

Ahem! It's "chavs"

But it's good to see them having their backsides handed to them by the pro-cycling commenters.

With participation rates like that it's only a matter of time before the "I hate bicycles" tribe dies out.

Seriously, 25%!? When there are other places hoping to get to 5% that is absolutely extraordinary.

"the Mayor has budgeted £913 million for cycling schemes" - That is > AU$1.5 billion

We'd be lucky to even get 5% of that spent of cycling infrastructure across our entire country...

when you live in London, driving a car isn't really an option. It might also help that Boris is a big cycling fan himself http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree ... ycling-fun
