Question

Ken Livingstone, You said that you were amazed by the popularity of cycling when in France for the Tour de France, and stated that we would use the French 'free bikes' scheme around London. When will this happen?

Answer

Over the last 8 years we have achieved an 80% increase in cycling in London, raising investment in cycling every year.
My election manifesto sets out how we will introduce a central London bike hire scheme with 6,000 bikes available every 300 metres, as part of a much wider investment of over £500 million in cycling facilities across London.
Due to the need to agree all of this with the central London boroughs, the earliest date for the introduction of the scheme is summer 2010. MORE!
