Industry meets to discuss London cycling bid
Cycling manufacturers and retailers have held talks with London mayor Boris Johnson over ways to support efforts to encourage more people to cycle across the capital.
The meeting at City Hall, which forms part of a dedicated year of cycling in London, was designed to gather views on how to improve safety and security in order to remove barriers to people wanting to cycle. Johnson said: "In London we are striving towards a real cycling revolution, which will make the bicycle the mode of choice for thousands more Londoners - cutting congestion and pollution.
"This is London's year of cycling, and I want to ensure that everything possible is done to break down the barriers that prevent people from taking up the cleanest, greenest, and often quickest means of getting around London." The mayor has set a target of increasing the number of people cycling by 400 per cent by 2025, compared with 2000 levels.
