On the back of Le Tour cycling increased by 10 per cent in London
According to Transport for London, the Tour de France's legacy to London was a 10.5 per cent increase in the number of people cycling on the Capital's major roads in the six months from April to September compared with the same period last year, with an estimated 48,000 more cycle journeys everyday.
In a survey conducted by TfL, 50 per cent of spectators said they would cycle more as a result of the Tour's visit to London.
TfL and the Mayor of London have confirmed today they are in negotiations to bring the Tour back to London before 2012. More news on this here.
