The number of cycle journeys in the City of London has increased by 57 per cent in two years – with bikes outnumbering cars by two to one in the “square mile” financial district during the day.
The huge rise – the biggest ever recorded by the City of London Corporation – has been fuelled in part by a 340 per cent increase in the use of dockless bikes, namely the Lime and Forest e-bikes that are widely available across central London.
