Boris not such a friend of cycling after all…

Cycling campaigners in London said money given to boroughs for cycle safety improvements is to be cut. The London Cycling Campaign claimed funding had been slashed in half, from £20m to £10m in 2008/9. The Green Party said the cut would represent a complete turn around of the Mayor's pledge to improve cycle lanes. The London Cycling Campaign said hundreds of planned cycle safety improvements to junctions and local streets were now under threat.
