More cycling trips in London are being made and fewer riders are falling victim to the capital’s road traffic, according to official data published Thursday.
The total number of cycle journeys rose 5 percent in 2014 from a year earlier to about 610,000 a day. The number of cyclists killed or seriously injured on the capital’s roads fell to 432, a drop of 12 percent from 2013 and the lowest number since 2006, when there were fewer cycling journeys.
