The last few weeks have seen two strategic documents released: the Strategic Cycling Analysis (SCA) from TfL; and the Mayor’s Transport Strategy (MTS). They set out a clear “direction of travel” for London. The Mayor has committed to ensuring walking, cycling and public transport take clear priority over cars (including taxis and PHVs). The demand for cycling is immense, and a network of high quality routes and traffic free areas is needed to meet it. The Mayor is targeting a network where 70% of Londoners are within 400m of a cycle route. And for 80% of trips to be made by walking, cycling and public transport.
