Programme to get more Londoners cycling being launched

Posted on in Business News , Cycles News

A programme to get more Londoners cycling across the capital is being launched by Transport for London (TfL).

London cyclists

TfL Cycle Sundays offer a range of support including leisure routes, cycling discounts, training and how to cycle safely, the transport body says.

TfL said there would be leisurely, easy-to-follow cycle routes across London for new cyclists of all abilities, available on its website and in the TfL Cycle Sundays Club in the Strava app.

TfL says it is continuing to work on expanding cycle paths across London.

The routes have been selected by TfL and a range of partners, including British Cycling, Cycle Sisters, JoyRiders, London Cycling Campaign, Sustrans and Wheels for Wellbeing.

They include park rides in Greenwich and Battersea, an accessible cycle tour of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, a loop through parks in Haringey, and many more spanning the capital.

Miranda Leedham, of TfL, said: “We know how important it is to encourage Londoners of all backgrounds to make the most of the benefits of cycling, which is why we are delighted to be launching this exciting new programme.

“You don’t even need your own bike to take part in Cycle Sundays.

"With around 800 Santander Cycles docking stations across London, you can start your Sunday by hiring a bike and exploring the city."
