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...
Our public transport and active travel network helps make London one of the best cities in the world.
And we’re keen to expand it to connect more communities.

Cycling is a fantastic way to get around London, especially now that we've grown our Cycleways network five-fold.
To celebrate Car Free Day, @TfL is making it even cheaper and easier for more Londoners to explore our city by bike with this new Santander Cycles offer.

ALT Graphic comparing London’s cycle network in 2016 and 2026. Two maps show the city with cycle routes highlighted in green: the 2016 map has relatively few routes, while the 2026 map shows a much denser network. Text reads, “London’s cycle network is now five times larger than in 2016.”
Cycling is one of the best ways of exploring London - especially now we’ve got over 450km of Cycleway.
To celebrate #WorldCarFreeDay TfL & Santander are offering half price cycle hire membership 🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲
Great to be in Manchester with @activetraveleng
Loved exploring the city on fab new bike lanes & hearing @Heidi_Labour announce £106m new investment in National Cycle Network.
Plus @Chris_Boardman & @DameSarahStorey - Paralympic legend & Strictly star who does my job in here.

Funding projects and improvements across the National Cycle Network, managed by @WalkWheelCycleT, we're helping more people choose happier, healthier and greener journeys
Good to see the new pedestrianisation of Greyfrairs Square as part of transformation of St Paul’s Gyratory in the @cityoflondon.

Great to see the progress on the new cycleway construction in Woolwich on route to Charlton, SE London.
This week I was pleased to be invited back to speak at the London Walking, Wheeling & Cycling Conference to talk the progress we have made, and the challenges & opportunities to come.
Delighted on a panel with @cityoflondon @hackneycouncil & my friend @Ed_Clancy from S Yorks.
Wonderful to join the New Cross Bike Bus this morning - enabling so many families to cycle to local schools @LewishamCouncil
With over 870 school streets, more & more children are walking & cycling to school in London - a healthy, green and fun way to start the day 💚
Almost £20 million of debt collected.
Over 500 vehicles seized.
And that's just in the first six months of this year.
Our enforcement agents are continuing to track down drivers who persistently evade Penalty Charge Notices, putting that money back into the transport network to benefit all who live, work and learn across the city.
Don't wait for our agents to knock on your door. Resolve your unpaid penalties today ➡️ tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/ult…

LONDON🇬🇧 is the next major city that shows how reducing car traffic delivers real, measurable public-health gains.
AFTER #ULEZ zone:
📉 NO₂ down by 38%
🏥 Fewer hospital admissions
☠️ An estimated 40% fall in deaths linked to air pollution
🧒 Kids health shows recovery
Wow! I had to check this wasn't posted on April 1st. It seems that the mad conspiracy theorists have hit a new peak 🤦♂️
Just to reassure everyone: traffic lights aren't deadly weapons. They actually help keep people safe. 🚦🚦🚦
