Mayor answers to London

Mayoral statement on cycling safety

Question number	2450/2012
Meeting date	19/09/2012

Question by Jenny Jones

It has been several months since you asked Transport for London to 'look at' whether there was any evidence for your statement that two thirds of cycling collisions are the result of cyclists not obeying the rules of the road. What is Transport for London's answer and will you now give a public correction?

Answer by Boris Johnson

I asked Transport for London to look into a statistic that I was told about during my election campaign. Its own statistics and research suggest this is not the case in London and I am pleased to be able to set the record straight on this.
