The Fulham Chronicle reveals that the Mayor's "guided cycling" scheme over the summer attracted literally only one Hammersmith rider.
The Chronicle quotes Caroline Pidgeon:
Last year's Cycle Fridays were an expensive flop. Yet instead of learning any lessons the Mayor insisted on going ahead this year with guided commuter cycle rides before suddenly cancelling them half way through the summer.
There is much that needs to be done to encourage cycling across London, but guided commuter cycle rides are clearly not the answer. The Mayor should instead concentrate on expanding the bike hire scheme and making roads safer for cyclists.
