A report by London Assembly’s Transport Committee has urged the Mayor of London and TfL to invest more funding in cycling to help reduce the number of cycle accidents in London.

The report, called Gearing up: An investigation into safer cycling in London, said the number of cycling casualties had risen by 50% between 2006 and 2011.

The London Assembly recommends that funding for cycling in the Transport for London (TfL) budget doubles, as less than 1% of TfL's budget [£73m in 2012/13] was spent on cycling.
