Since @sadiqkhan was elected in 2016, we've delivered a fivefold expansion of London's network of Cycleways to over 450km - enabling millions & millions of greener, cleaner, safer & healthier journeys 🚲🚲🚲
And we're not sitting back in our saddles, there's much more to come...

The route is out and it's a brilliant showcase for our city. When the Tour de France Femmes rolls into London, millions worldwide will get a front-row seat to the very best of what London has to offer.
Etape 3 / Stage 3 - #TDFF2027
🚩 Londres - Londres 🏁 18 km ⏱️
🤩 The first TTT in the history of the event, set against the magnificent backdrop of London’s landmarks.
🤩 Le premier chrono par équipe de l'histoire de l'épreuve, dans le cadre majestueux des monuments londoniens.
Like London, Paris has rapidly expanded its network of cycle lanes.
It was great to get out and try them.
Really inspiring but, like London, still lots to do - felt a bit scary at some of the junctions.

It’s always inspiring seeing what other cities do to make streets safer.
In Paris, it’s impossible not to notice the ubiquitous zebra crossings that help give pedestrian priority on side roads.
I’m delighted we’re working with @transportgovuk to start trialing these in London.
Paris - unlike London - has had the powers to regulate dockless e-bikes.
Walking around, you can really see how regulations result in orderly parking.
Government is giving UK cities similar powers so we can ensure bikes are parked as well as these in future.
La Tour de France Femmes is coming to London 🚴♀️🚴♀️🚴♀️🚴♀️🚴♀️

I was honoured to join La Tour in Paris today for the launch of the 2027 route.

Last week I was pleased to visit @hackneycouncil to discuss walking, cycling & public transport improvements.
Good to see Dalston Liveable Neighbourhood progressing - with school streets, bus gates, new crossings, traffic filters & rain gardens.

Good to be working in @haringeycouncil to improve walking and cycling in the borough, while making the roads safer for people.
Exciting to see plans for new cycle routes coming forward 🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲

In just a week, Oxford Street begins its transformation into a world-class, traffic-free destination for shopping, culture and leisure.
A greener, more vibrant high street that supports businesses, creates jobs and brings new opportunities 💚
For decades too many junctions in London haven't had pedestrian signals - TfL is upgrading these to make it safer for people crossing these busy roads.
Good to see the A217 London Rd / Cricket Green junction completed.
With 1.5m daily cycle trips, and the potential for many more, we're expanding London's network of Cycleways.
Good to see the progress being made on the new Nine Elms bike lanes.

H&F Council Approves Hammersmith Road Cycleway 9 Plans

London traffic this morning🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲
Having expanded London's network of Cycleways from 90km in 2016 to over 450km today, there are now on average 1.5 million cycle trips a day.
Wonderful to be part of this happy group of commuters.

This morning, City of London Police were at Bank Junction, introducing a new approach to tackling cyclists who ignore red lights, giving offending riders the opportunity to watch a short hard-hitting road safety film instead of receiving an immediate fixed penalty notice.
Monument Junction, north of London Bridge, is extremely busy & unsafe for people walking & cycling,
We're proposing significant safety improvements - inc new crossings, cycle lanes, wider pavements & pedestrianising Fish Street Hill.
Have your say:

We're working with London's boroughs to grow our Cycleway Network and enable more people to safely cycle around the capital.
I'm looking forward to working with @lbhf who, last night, approved the new Olympia to Hammersmith section of Cycleway 9.
👏👏@nicoletrehy 🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲
As cycling in London soars, we're expanding London's network of Cycleways.
Good to see the progress being made on the safety improvements on the A23 at Streatham Hill.
With the delivery of London's new super-sewer, there's been a 86% reduction in raw sewage entering the River Thames 🌊🐟🦈💙
