CITY OF WESTMINSTER

INTRODUCTION OF LONDON CYCLE HIRE SCHEME

Statement of Reasons

The London Cycle Hire Scheme is the centrepiece of the Mayor of London’s cycling programme and one of the top transport priorities for London. The scheme will go towards bringing about a step change in cycling in central London and this will be achieved through the installation of some 400 cycle hire stations across the scheme, with approximately 125 of these stations being of City of Westminster highway.

The scheme has been developed in collaboration with Transport for London, nine central London Boroughs and The Royal Parks, and will go live in Summer 2010, with some 6000 bicycles available for hire 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It is anticipated that the scheme would help achieve a modal shift from other transport modes to cycling, and also help to remove a number of perceived and real barriers to cycling in central London.
