Abstract
Bicycle use and bicycle planning in London are examined. The main thesis is that the level of use is now extremely low, at about 2% of all journeys, and that one factor which has contributed to the decline of bicycle use is the activity of Transport Planners and Highway Engineers. If this decline is to be halted, this will depend on numerous small and inexpensive works on and off the highway. Recommendations are given for bicycling in this capital.
