Increasing cycling in line with the Mayor’s vision will give Londoners around 5000 years of extra healthy life, with an economic benefit of £250 million. If all journeys that could be walked or cycled were walked or cycled, this would provide a £2 billion economic benefit. This information comes from a new study by Lucy Saunders (Public Health Specialist at the GLA). Report is called Transport and Health in London and is well worth a read – it is nice and concise.

Increasing cycling will hugely improve the health of Londoners
