Koy Thomson of the London Cycling Campaign:

"Cycle route funding for London boroughs has been slashed in half, undermining the mayor's plans to more than treble cycling levels in the capital. We are calling on the mayor to reverse the cuts and consult with cycling groups on completing the 500-mile London Cycle Network Plus across London. Slashing the funding for cycle routes means they will be left unfinished. This will undermine the mayor's flagship programmes such as the mass cycle hire scheme because people won't feel safe on the roads."

Still, Boris insists he'll make London a "true cycling city." All this, courtesy of Helene Mulholland.
