| Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear in my previous post. The following is the summary from the TFL report on active travel. Not my commentary on it. Active travel: Cycling in London Summary (Page 109) https://content.tfl.gov.uk/travel-in-london-report-12.pdf "According to the LTDS, in 2018/19 just below 21 per cent of Londoners reported having cycled at least once in the last year, which is the lowest proportion since 2010/11. This strongly suggests that the growth in cycling observed in volumetric counts is driven by population growth, and by people who already cycle making more trips. Most people who cycle in London do so quite regularly and have been doing so for more than five years. They also tend to be mostly male, white, in employment, and with relatively higher household incomes. The cycle intercept surveys on cycle routes that were opened in 2018 show good overall user satisfaction with the improvements and a positive correlation between the provision of cycling infrastructure and the perception of safety, which may be stronger where the infrastructure is segregated. They also show that the demographic profile of users of these new cycle routes is not markedly different to that of the general cycling population in London. Most users of cycle routes where TfL has invested in cycling are people who also live in London, cycle very regularly, and who have been cycling on that route for a relatively long time. However, almost 75 per cent of users consider the cycling facilities along the route a significant factor in their choice of mode and route for that journey." |
