TfL Launches 10 New Cycleways

Cycling in London is becoming safer, thanks to the continuous efforts of Transport for London (TfL). The city is witnessing a transformation, with cycling gradually becoming more accessible and easier for everyone. 

Last month, TfL added 35 km of Cycleways across Greater London, including Stratford, New Cross, Barnet, Walthamstow, and Ealing. The new routes, designed to cater to cyclists of all backgrounds and abilities, mean that 390 km of Cycleways across London currently support a diverse range of cyclists, encouraging greater inclusivity in cycling.  

Will Norman, London’s Walking and Cycling Commissioner, said: “Expanding London’s cycleway network is key to enabling more Londoners to choose cycling as their mode of transport for shorter trips.” 

To encourage more cycling, TfL has also produced a new user-friendly map that shows where the routes are. Additionally, Cycle Sundays offers a range of easy-to-follow leisure cycle routes and maps across London to explore the capital on Sundays.  

Helen Cansick, TfL’s Head of Healthy Streets Investment, said, “We look forward to connecting even more Londoners to our cycle network and making cycling more accessible to all.”  

TfL is making significant progress in transforming outer London for people walking and cycling. Further Cycleways are planned this year across outer London, including two of the longest Cycleways in Brentford and Hackney later this year.
