London's Cycle Superhighways Hailed as a Success
Transport for London say the two new Superhighways have been a big success, with an average usage increase of 70%. The traffic on these Superhighways, which connect parts of London to the financial City, is bicycles.

Two more cycling routes will open this summer.
