Plot showing the increase in cycling on cycleway 2 in East London from 2000 to 2024. It had been increasing up to 2015 (from 500-ca. 2500 per day) but there was a big step up to over 4000 just after it was completed. At present it’s nudging 5000 per day.

Not far away we have a fairly comprehensive set of actual traffic counts (i.e. fewer estimates than usual - there’s a count point outside the Mosque but that’s nearly all estimates). Getting on for a 10-fold increase in cycling since 2000 🤯

Fab vid by @westcountrytim.bsky.social confirming that, while London Bridge is not a designated cycleway, it is the busiest for cycle traffic into the City of London

One or two folk riding bikes over Blackfriars Bridge on London's cycleway #C6 #CS6 this morning.

More 'vehicles' use the narrow C6 cycle track on the left than on the motorised vehicle lanes on the right.

"Yea, we built them their own lanes, and you might see a few people using them in rush hour, but the rest of the time those lanes are unused. What a waste"

Blackfriars bridge cycle lane this morning. Just to think, 10 years ago this was a dangerous and unpleasant place to cycle across.

In 2025, there were 1.5m daily cycle journeys in London, equivalent to nearly half of daily Tube journeys.

Evidence shows that London-wide, cycling infrastructure is effective in reducing risk exposure:  Protected cycling infrastructure reduces injury risk to people cycling by 40-65%.  Around 33% of all cycling in London occurs on Cycleways, but only 15% of cycle casualties.  76% of people cycling feel safe on Cycleways compared to 40% feeling safe on other roads.  70% of Cycleway users felt safer after the introduction of the Cycleway.

Road safety factors are more likely to be attributed to the driver of (recorded in 2024) the other vehicle than people cycling, with three of top five factors relating to behaviour of other drivers. • People cycling undertaking an illegal turn and/or not complying with traffic lights is a factor in only 3.7% of all collisions resulting in a cycling fatal or serious injury (same prevalence as drivers undertaking illegal turns and/or not complying with traffic lights).

A 2023 analysis showed that in the 2016-22 period, we saw a greater reduction in risk in boroughs where the Cycleway network expanded the most. Conversely, risk increased most in boroughs with no or limited investment in Cycleways.

Some interesting London cycling stats in this TfL FOI, if that's your thing tfl.gov.uk/corporate/tr...

A graph showing cyclists per day, for 2022 to 2025, with trend lines superimposed. There is a slight growth for each year. There is also a big jump between 2022 and 2023, which reflects a recalibration of the northbound counter.

Here is a full-year summary of the Oxford Road Cycleway data, using a visualisation by the excellent @edtiss.bsky.social.

Note that the big jump between 2022 and 2023 includes a recalibration of the northbound sensors. Everything after August 2022 should give a more accurate count.

VOTE FOR WESTMINSTER’S FUTURE! 🗳️✅With local election season about to go into high gear, now is the time for residents to reflect on how we've turned red lights into green ones when it comes to cycling & let council leaders know @citywestminster.bsky.social that you WANT MORE CHANGE! 💪🚴‍♀️ ⬇️

Saw at least three families on the school run on cycleway 2 this morning. This scheme, on a road that was previously a deathtrap for anyone cycling, was transformational. Time for protected cycle tracks on all main road
