Mayor looks to expand cycle schemes beyond London

London mayor Boris Johnson has said that expanding a cycle hire scheme to outer London boroughs would be "a wonderful thing to do".Speaking at City Hall, the mayor encouraged the use of alternative transport and cycling schemes in the capital, which would reduce congestion, improve air pollution and lower the city's carbon emissions."We want generally to see a London where motorists feel that they can find cyclists on any road," he said, as cited by the Guardian.However, Mr Johnson said that it would take time to implement a cycle hire scheme outside central London as it is "logistically difficult", but he is looking into it.Praising the success of the cycle superhighways, which provide a safer environment for cycling commuters and could give rise to more cycle to work schemes, the mayor said: "By putting in these measures, these very visible encouragements, we are getting people who aren't interested in cycling or have been a little bit timid, to try it out."Posted by Mark Stephens Find out more about travel planning
